Genuinely curious, what are some of the reasons you keep them around?
Every time I read about someone with that kind of tab count I immediately wonder:
1) if they have that many persistent tabs and actually need (probably the wrong word here) them, how many tabs do they actually close?
2) Does closing a long standing tab invoke a physiological/emotional response?
I'm only poking a little fun with #2. I have to actively overrule my subconscious when it comes to a few categories of physical things. Small electronics and computer parts/peripherals are a couple of things that if I don't verbally tell myself "you won't ever need this random old PC case panel thumb screw" I could very easily end up in hoarder territory.

I don't have any persistent tabs, I can open and close e.g. Gmail whenever I need. Rather these are all tabs related to some project or another that I've been interrupted in the middle. Most of them I just need to copy some definition or idea to e.g. Anki. Others may have lists of potential solutions to potential problems. For instance I know that I have a bunch of tabs dealing with OCR open somewhere - those I just need to copy the URLs and I could then close. I just need a spare week to do all these little things.

Haha, no. Some tabs are more important than others, but if they get lost I can move on. I just might need to redo research that I've already done.
