I often do something in-between keeping a lot of tabs open and making a lot of bookmarks.
Since I basically never clear my browser history for privacy reasons like other people do (I don't look at explicit websites), I can basically go back through the history and find what I was looking at without needing to keep the tabs open.
This approach wouldn't work for people who clear their history a lot, but bookmarks likely wouldn't work either for such a purpose. I wonder how much of the open tab approach is driven by the feeling that once they close the browser, their session with all the stuff they were looking at is over, and thus no one will see what all they had open once that close button is hit? Is it some kind of anxiety thing?
Finally! A browser that can handle up to 1,000,000 tabs?

"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

Because I use more than one type of browser, I use start.me (which is my home page on each browser) to bookmark sites I am visiting on a semiregular basis, or which are reference sites which may be used less often but which are important to keep a link to.
I suppose I could make a page in start.me for the sites "to read later" and put those types of bookmarks there, but I started a system that I am happy with before I got into start.me, and so I continue with it.
What I have is a Group chat in Facebook Messenger that has myself as the only member. It is my Check Out Later chat. Everything goes in there, names of books or movies someone mentioned while talking, words I hear that I want to look up, a podcast name, website URLs that look interesting but don't have time to read.
Because Facebook Messenger is always open on my computer, and is on every device I own, and messages get sent instantly, I have found this to be a really handy way to keep and have access to anything that is not bookmark worthy, but which I might want to go back to. The way I can scroll back where everything is sorted by date and time is great too.
And for all those items I never return to, they are not cluttering up my browser(s) in any way, and if I don't get to some of them, who cares?
