    Not at all the same thing. For one, you can open a history entry and then navigate back from that to the page you came from to that page - which there may be several. Tabs preserve per-tab history which makes it superior in many ways to both history and bookmarks.

      fair point but in practice, I don’t really see it being useful very often… You could write an extension to implement that feature so that tabs dont crowd your space…

        I mean, do whatever works for you, but that sounds kinda unnecessary when you can just use an already existing feature - tabs.

          I do use tab, but they are kind of a problem too… I usually have 20+ tabs opened and many of them I never revisit.

            Use a tab unloader addon. That way if you don’t revisit then they don’t take up any resources.

            I use “Basic automated tab unloader” but there are several.

              They would still use my attention and screen real estate, no?

                Ah you don’t have to keep all the tabs in view at the same time. There are addons like “Panorama Tab Groups” that let you only work with one group at a time.
