IMO, the solution to this is to have browser makers seriously beef up their bookmarking functionality. I have a large (for me) list of tabs I can keep open for weeks, that are maybe not worth bookmarking permanently, with the intent to go back to "later" and then I hardly ever do...so they accumulate.
Adding one more page to a bookmark list is easy, but unless you're downright religious about organizing them, they can grow so large they stop being useful.
Organizing things in a hierarchy is a good start, but I'd love to be able to assign tags to my bookmarks, and manage them in bulk. Then make the bookmarks searchable as if you'd be searching the internet at large. Or come up with a simple query language to search through them.
Then associate some stats with each bookmarked item: Last time it was used, the resulting http status code (did it load? Timeout? Not found? Redirect? etc) and track those over time, so you can see the result of each attempt on a timeline.
Then have a button you can use, say, once a month to have background threads iterate through all your bookmarks, and record the resulting status codes. If the last N times you did that, a given bookmark resulted in the page not loading, then it might be a good indication that the user should perhaps delete it.
Really, the housekeeping possibilities are endless.
I've seriously thought about writing my own extension to do this sort of thing, but...y'know...time. Without exaggerating, this could be a full-time job.

My solution is the TabList extension. The ability to simply copy and paste all tabs, save in a text file or paste in TabList in another browser is priceless (this extension exists for all browsers).

Embrace your mental disorder. Just keep adding memory to your machine so you can keep more tabs open. The less practical the solution, the more satisfying.

When I learned to click a DataGridView (DGV) and link to a URL it was life changing
so I wrote a small project that lets me create and name the link type
then copy and paste the link and save it with the corresponding defined link type
What makes this a little more functional is when I visit the URL the project
records the visit date and displays that in the DGV

I have an HDD disconnected but bolted into my computer chassis.
I got rid of it because it slowed things down and I have 6TB of NVMe anyway
Turns out, you cannot copy your freshly compiled WSL linux kernel to a filesystem unless it's ext4
It has symbolic links which rules out FAT, and illegal characters in filenames (NTFS).
So get this: To enable WSL to see your ext4 formatted SD card you must
1. Have an ext4 partition on non-removable storage, so that WSL can see it. Enter my HDD.
2. Recompile the WSL Linux kernel enabling SCSI over TCP
3. Install the kernel
4. Convince windows to talk SCSI over TCP
5. Wave a dead chicken over the whole thing.
Finally, you can mount an SD properly in WSL.
Why microsoft didn't enable it by default just floors me.

There's enough of a use case that somebody put together a guide for doing it.
And for the many embedded ARM developers out there, it would open up options in terms of actual development platform.
This whole thing is just because Microsoft has yet to fully implement (emulate?) block devices in WSL yet.

You might be able to mount the sd card with a drive letter so it looks like a normal drive?

can't mount drives like that unless they are formatted, FAT32 or NTFS

I've used apps like those before - including maybe some of those ones in particular. While it's fine for reading an entire non-removable disk, it quickly becomes a chore to have to eject, reload the new disk, add files to it etc. It's not a true mount, it's an app. No shell extensions or anything so it's a big old monkey wrench in the workflow. That's why I ended up exploring other routes - because I have to update this SD card every time I change any code.

It sounds like you'd be better off dual booting into Linux

Did that on my laptop because I had a spare NVMe stick for it.
About ready to nuke GRUB from orbit.
Ditching that install. I got WSL doing what I needed it to.
It would have done it in the first place, but Microsoft's code is incomplete.

Oh you absolutely innocent person. 
Yeah you'd think that would work, wouldn't you. So did I.
But Microsoft has not fully implemented block device support in WSL, so it doesn't work for flash drives and SD readers.
It's certainly possible if you're willing to shim your SD card over iSCSI and TCP/IP.
As nightmarish as that sounds, it's not terrible once it's set up.
The trick is getting it set up. Read it and weep:

Adding, that was actually worse then some of the other solutions, seeing as how Ubuntu and Win11 refuse to samba together.

I feel your pain. Wish I could have jumped ship a decade ago and never looked back, but my real job requires me to deal with the OS and company that thinks that new icons and "View more...", "Read more..." links are a useful update.

WSL will not mount an ext4 SD card. It can mount ext4 hard drives. Not flash drives. Because MS sucks.
but
VMWare causes the most obnoxious repeating beep sound, gets itself locked up, locks the mouse cursor inside its window, and keeps beeping even after I kill the task, forcing me to reboot.
VirtualBox will not share the clipboard from host->device, will not mount my remote filesystem, and will not function as though it was written by competent people.
Surely there's a market out there for VM software that isn't awful. Am I the only one that wants a functioning VM out there?
