This is a UI problem, not a you or I problem. Browser makers never figured out how to do bookmarks properly, so tabs became a bad reinvention of bookmarks.

Look at how some students work with their textbooks: they fill the book with tons of little sticky bookmarks, colour coded and everything. You can write on them too!

That's why I use Vivaldi. Between its workspaces (different books) I can have the relevant tabs and tab stacks for when I eventually need them because I'll never find them again or remember them in some bookmark tool. They also have tab memory management so anything I haven't opened in x amount of time, the process is killed so my browser doesn't implode.
