It’s so odd to me that this isn’t the default behaviour for all browsers especially Edge. It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.
This works in edge. Alt+tab also cycles between 2 tabs in edge if a previos tab was selected, or between windows if not. Which annoys the hell out of me, going from email to edge, switching to the tab I need to copy from and expecting alt+tab to bring me back to email and instead just goes back to the tab I didn't want.

No such thing

Y'all crazy tab people need raindrop.io or something.

Tabs are part checklist. If I use bookmarks, they go out of siht, out of mind. As tabs there's a reminder to resolve the topic.

You can set Firefox to purge everything when you close it, not sure why its not set as default
Closing all tabs is default behavior.

Homie if you have over 200 items on a checklist you aren't doing half that shit.

No, some items have a dozen tabs associated, and others are recurring tasks.
I only have maybe 15 topics in my tabs, half are waiting on something else to be resolved, and a sixth are videos to be watched.

Realistically- how often do you actually go through and take care of these items, and how important was it really if it could sit on the list while hundreds of other things pile up?

Alt+tab? What about ctrl+tab? What we were talking about…
To answer my own question, I did a bit of searching and it looks like ctrl+tab still only cycles to the next tab in Edge. There’s a few requests for it to cycle to previous tab like alt+tab but looking through the settings and stuff it still doesn’t look like an option.
Always happy to be proven wrong but it looks like it’s still not an option.

I replied too quick, and missed the recent used order of the op. Edge just cycles left to right with ctrl+tab I think. However, alt+tab actually would have been the solution for the oop at least in edge. Because it does go to your last used tab.

Hundreds of other things? I just said 15 things!
There's definitely tab rot though, and coming back to an area often sees half of the tabs cleared before continuing. I can't imagine that kind of turnover with bookmarks though, especially with how comparatively clunky removing bookmarks is.
Boockmarks don't updated themselves either, so keeping my place in a story or post list is way harder. Tabs also maintain physical correlations, with a parent tab closing all children when closed, and staying near where you use them. Bookmarks need to be explicitly organized and updated, taking several clicks for each, instead of being organized and updated just by using them.
How often are tabs processed? Most tabs get closed before they're a week old, some groups are reused every week --TTRPG references mostly-- currently using ~15 tabs:
5 indexes,
2 character sheets,
5 common references,
and whatever weird stuff was relevant last sessionOther groups are used or closed as projects are worked on:
6 tabs for Factorio calculators,
~10 tabs for exoplanet research for worldbuilding,
~20 game tutorials (these could probably be bookmarks),
~15 wikis for the various games I've played in the last few months (half could be bookmarks),
~10 tabs for setting up my new phone (these will be closed soon),
5 tabs I just closed because I stopped needing them,
~5 youtube series I listen to while I work, as the topic strikes me,
~15 individual videos I'll probably watch in the next few weeks (several are 2+ hours long),
~15 music tabs of either specific songs or topics I listen to as the fancy strikes me,
~20 tabs of bugs and issues I've been having (which will get cleared when I resolve them or stop caring),
~20 tabs of research for a work project (15 will probably be closed immediately)(should probably not be in my personal browser),
~10 tabs of stuff I just looked up in the last couple of days and haven't closed yet,
And probably 10 aspirational tabs of stuff I'd like to get to in the future, but probably won't (definitely won't if they're bookmarks).I've touched ~80% in the last 3 months, and ~50% this month, although my phone has a lot more old aspirational tabs.
When it comes to a list building up, what's the difference between old tabs and old bookmarks anyway? Neither are using any resources. A link wouldn't be and more or less important as a bookmark than a tab.

For other things? That just speaks to the incompetence of the morons above her...
I think when you're that high up, you're a bit harder to fire.
But yeah.
