Browser tab hoarding got so bad I built a 3 am purge system
So I had 47 tabs open across 3 windows last Tuesday, mostly recipes I'll never make and deals that expired in 2021. I kept telling myself I'd sort them later. Later never came.
I tried bookmarking everything for a week but that just moved the mess somewhere else. Then I set a rule: every Friday at 3 am, if I haven't opened a tab in 7 days, I screenshot it to a folder called 'maybe' and close it. Sounds dumb but it's been 2 weeks and I've only gone back for 2 things.
Does anyone else do some kind of tab expiry thing or am I the only one who treats browser windows like a storage unit that needs cleaning?

wait, do you actually look at those screenshot folders or just let them pile up too?
