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.

Marc Clifton wrote: A Programmable Programming Language - why? Curiosity, I guess.
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 
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

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 condition too...chrome plugin Session Buddy is your friend!

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.

Marc, with all due respect... I think you need to review:
- Your goals
- Your stretch goals
- Your priorities
- Your Focus
because this might be a sign of unchallenged intelligence. Usually a sign that you could be doing more in your work/personal life. The worse case is a form of OCD about falling behind, or just wanting to know more than others (Something I would not have said about you)...
Are you "Distracting" yourself with these interests? I've been known to do it.
I mention this, because since I started paying attention to how I feel... I realized I was overwhelming myself in order to get me to do something else. (Much like procrastination allows you to do a WORSE job BECAUSE you didn't have the time, therefore you could ignore the quality issues).
I truly mean this with all due respect, and since you reached out...
God Bless...
PS: To be useful, chrome menu -> Bookmarks -> Bookmark Open pages --> lets you name (I would use a date/time stamp: 20180518_Whatever and put them under a book mark folder for just these DUMPS) then you have one place where you can easily find them in the future. And possibly track how often you do this!

For me, it has been so easy to just click on the URL icon and drag and drop onto my desk top. Every few days I'll sweep them into a folder for further investigation or place them into pre-determined folders. Over the years I have collected literally Hundreds of thousands of links that I will never be able to go back and look over ... but I still do it. (I like the fact the the link gives me the full webpage title and the date I collected it)
The usual intent is to go deeper into an article at a later date and time, or to keep a project idea off to the side and figure out later how I'm gonna put my spin on it. Shopping Lists!!! I have tons of folders where I'll find something ... Ohhh, I've gotta have that USB toy. I'll come back later and see if I can fit it into the budget. The link goes on the desk top, and eventually into a folder ... where it is never seen again, and the budget is re-assigned to the wife's new dress
Buying a new computer should be a prime opportunity for eliminating outdated links, but they just get moved to external disks (for safe keeping no less). I now have a drawer of Flash drive disks of questionable capacities and indeterminate conditions.
Somebody Stop Me please ...

I've had the tab to your comment up in the browser for about 1-1/2 hours, and finally got to it, after cruising through several others. 41 tabs is a lot, enough that all the ads could slow down the computer to a crawl. Fortunately, I discovered the speaker icon, so I know which ones are playing unwanted videos and pause them, although sometimes, I have to kill the tab. I also keep my much "for later" tabs in a file on pastebin.com, so I can view them on any computer later. So, like cancer, you just need to manage your chronic problem rather than cure it.

Use Safari on an iOS device. It will keep them all through reboots, power failures, and will even sync those tabs between devices. I seem to always have a vastly more tabs open than I will ever go back and look at again.

I noticed I had that very same behaviour with the Browser Bookmarks. I had a million of them. Organized out the ying yang. I never went through all those trying to find something. Heck maybe I had something on that or maybe I didn't. It was much faster to just Google whatever and go from there. I completely quit using the bookmarks because of that same reason.

The first rule of OCD Club is that there shall be a second rule so there are an even number of rules.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wouldn't that actually be CCDOblu?
Check your ASCII chart.

Maybe you can't resist the urge to still use EBCDIC[^].
Quote: The fact that all the code points were different was less of a problem for inter-operating with ASCII than the fact that sorting EBCDIC put lowercase letters before uppercase letters and letters before numbers, exactly the opposite of ASCII.

Or do they? I've always had better results from CDO sufferers.

There are no optimistic OCD'ers.
They usually win some of the Darwin Awards early on.
throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

Griff may (not really) be a big fan of wire wrapping, but I always prefered a printed circuit board. Making them yourself can get a little messy because of the chemicals and having them made in small numbers or single prototypes is not a bargain.
In the ads on top of the page I have now seen this.[^] Just the right toy for me, but probably too expensive.

There is a 'system' that I have seen 'Big Clive' use that gets away from the really nasty Ferric Chloride and will do single or double sided boards. It uses used Sodium Carbonate rather than anything too nasty. That desktop printer, gimme!
