Firefox Power User Keeps 7,400+ Browser Tabs Open for 2 Years

My issue with this is that a good chunk of the older tabs end up pointing to 404 errors. I wish it were possible to load the version that was cached when I first visitted a given page, like a local Wayback machine( I also wish that were more aggressive about pulling in pages …).
Then there’s Amazon letting vendors reuse product codes so some pages end up pointing to things I know I’ve never looked at before and would never try to save like so.
If you’re into selfhosting there is an alternative self-hosted Wayback machine.
Or you can use something like wallabag
And there is also a Firefox extension that let’s your download a whole web site as a single html file .
Finally, there’s Linkding who recently add local copy of your bookmarks.
Almost 7,500 tabs…in 2 years? That’s an incredibly short period of time, but too many tabs.
That just seems like an unwillingness to organize or close tabs at all, rather than real sentimental value.
At that point, just back up your browser history every night (of course, after manually removing the sites you don’t want there! Lol)
