So the other 196 are sort of, things you're not working on, but haven't really done with, and might need again?

I think most people use some combination of notes, bookmarks, history, and search to manage this.

I'm not most people

Obviously.

I'm not being critical. More power to you.

I know there's lots of people that use lots of tabs and I'm just trying to understand how it works.

Honestly I might dispute your assertion that "most people" are doing anything different. IME, people are generally pretty disorganized.

A bold assertion good sir, and one we can test:

https://telemetry.mozilla.org/new-pipeline/dist.html#!cumulative=0&end_date=2023-12-17&include_spill=0&keys=__none__!__none__!__none__&max_channel_version=nightly%252F122&measure=SCALARS_BROWSER.ENGAGEMENT.MAX_CONCURRENT_TAB_COUNT&min_channel_version=null&processType=*&product=Firefox&sanitize=1&sort_by_value=0&sort_keys=submissions&start_date=2023-11-20&table=0&trim=1&use_submission_date=0

I'm on mobile but if that data is showing what I think it is, the median "Max tabs per session" is 4? Less than I expected? That's firefox nightly too, which I would expect to skew more towards excessive tabs than the main releases.

Also... someone has more than 7,000 tabs open?
