1. Congratulations! It must have hurt, but you did it!
2. Bookmarks. They've been around for a while, but they let you save tabs for later visits and close them in the meantime. Arranged into folders, you can easily find them in the future and open a whole group in one go. Takes all the fear out of closing tabs, I find. Mostly. Still had 13 when I opened Firefox this morning 
Incidentally, one of my major reasons for using FF – decent managment of bookmarks. Chrome has long sucked at this, not even having a sidebar until recently, and that still doesn't have a keyboard shortcut to open it (though inexplicably there's one to close it again). I've got over 2000 bookmarks collected since the early nineties, so I may have a problem too...

Bookmarks are so 1990's. 
Bookmarks require more work to find than open tabs, or at least that's how it feels.

There is a nifty extension for Firefox, which I forgot the name of (and I can't use FF at work so I can't check) which allows to save the current open tabs.
It's been an absolute gem when I was shunted from project to project during my consulting days and I had to learn a dozen different technologies and tools from scratch in a handful of days.

I'll look into Vivaldi - it appears interesting.
I'm mainly an opera user. Firefox I gave up on years ago due to it's persistent memory leaks. Chrome is well... chrome. I've had the same memory leaks with it. Edge I only use on rare occasions - just don't care for the layout.
My next mission, because I have 3 machines in front of me with 7 VMs is to be able to share amongst my browsing sessions, but it will have to wait - I have real work to do.

I believe Vivaldi was started by the guy who wrote Opera. I used it until it got bought out by the Chinese. Here's a post from the web:
Quote: The browsers? Well, both are trying to some degree to emulate an old version of Opera. The founder of Vivaldi was actually one of the two people who created the old version of Opera. Jon actually ran Opera Software for years, then he decided to take the company public and retire. He says he didn't like where the new managers were taking Opera, so he founded Vivaldi, hired many of the developers of old Opera, and created another browser more to his liking. Opera is more focused on simplicity, while Vivaldi is more about flexibility.

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.

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.
