Bookmark 'em! You can even set up separate folders to hold the bookmarks by subject.
Then you can ignore even more things you want to read as bookmarks don't take as much screen space or memory. I do!

That requires learning how to use bookmarks. I'm quite serious.

See the little star to the right hand end of the address bar? Click it!
(There's also a "Bookmark Manager" in the "three dot menu" but you almost never need it.)
And ... if you are signed in to Google, your bookmarks are preserved and shared across all the Chrome apps you run - so my bookmarks are synced between the desktop, WookieTab, Nexus 7, and the phone.

Isn't it completely annoying how bookmarks work completely differently in a different browser. Seriously since a previous version of IE not sure which one. I have completely given up on bookmarks/favorites as a way of keeping track of sites.
I have a list of old favorites from like 8 years ago that gets imported in each new browser install. I never use any of them anymore. Sometimes when I go to one of them it is a dead link or dead site. geocities anyone.
I sometimes copy and paste into a OneNote notebook for reading later and weirdly enough I sometimes do read them at night when I need ot go to sleep.
Yep cannot use bookmarks at all.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

This of it as using a .txt file that you never lose. The best is when you finally get time to go back and dig through your old bookmarks and they don't work anymore because the website has been changed or is no longer around.

That's gotta be using a TON of memory
You DO realize that you can book mark all these pages?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

You forgot the word SH*T in your comment. I've used a simple ton of memory in Chrome with only 5 tabs open.

Egads!!!
I can barely handle 4 or 5 tabs at the same time.
I'd rather be phishing!

I bookmarked your post, so I can refer back to the links at a later time.
By this afternoon, I will have forgotten I did this.
Next week I will be searching with Google for the information contained in the links I just bookmarked.

I currently have just over 30 tabs pinned in Chrome.

I caught myself doing this many years ago and decided to stop because it became a pain to move the links between work and home. I then started bookmarking them and then I ran into the previous problem again so I started compiling the bookmarks into simple webpages. That's what I do now. If I find a link that is interesting I copy and paste it into my little webpage and I keep them in a path that I backup to my flashdrive and that has simplified things for me considerably.
It turns out I have been doing this kind of thing for almost twenty years now. Imagine my surprise when I get on W10 machine for the first time and aim Edge at my little webpage and does not render correctly. This is a simple HTML file that has a table with two columns, a banner image, and a background image and it will not render at all.

Based upon the way your post progressed (in exquisite detail), I would like to thank you, first and foremost that it was NOT entitled something like "Underwear Drawer" or "Skin Eruptions".

I've come to the realization that some people use tabs like I use bookmarks.
I'd be just as bad (keeping lots of tabs opened), except that I've had browsers crash on me so often that it's not worth "keeping a tab opened" be the only way I can track back where I was and what I was doing.
Of course browsers nowadays try to detect crashes and offer to restore everything, but oftentimes they come back with a login prompt, which will log you in but might not bring you back to where you were anyway.

I keep them in a docx file "somewhere" and use a shortcut on my desktop op open docx when needed
- this way I have only 1 docx and it is never lost ...  Sometimes I use Find in Word to find something back ...

Bookmark them to a folder? Your machine clearly has too much RAM

Let me know if you find the pill. At this moment I have managed to bring down the tab count on my Firefox from over 1000 to 628.
It's so easy to open links on a new Tab...
If I close and reopen Firefox it only loads the tabs on demand so the memory issue is minimised...
I find it hard to close Tabs without a overall look.
I think I need professional help.

As I was reading through the article you linked to, I thought of the solution - crowdsource people to read the pages for you & tell you if they're useful/interesting or not!
And that link? Basically telling you how brilliant Racket (i.e. Scheme/Lisp) is for embedding domain specific languages, because it's such a malleable language (basically because the syntax is very regular and simple). And macros. Always the macros with Lisp...
So that's got you started with the crowdsourcing thing

Use pocket, or a similar service, you just save to pocket and tag it so it’s categorised and easier to find later.

I have this exact same problem
Firefox has a "Send Tab" feature that I have yet to try. Useful to send the link to your mobile for later reading.
