You can bookmark a whole window full of tabs all into a single bookmark folder. It's called "bookmark all tabs" or something like that. Then later you can open all of them again into a new window using a single button again.

I know the average person isn't tech savvy, but this loss is almost entirely on themself. If you have 7000 tabs open and it's important to you that they stay saved, then it's on you to simply ASK someone if keeping them open is an ok way to do it

Why do you need to “save” a tab? If you’re never going to look at it again what is the point?

I can understand someone who has 20-30 tabs. They’ll probably go back to at least one of them. But 7000???? There is nothing to save it’s an impossible rats nest with zero organization so the likelihood of reopening even one of those tabs is virtually zero. So in this case what’s the purposing of “saving” these tabs?

Sometimes you actually do go back to those saved tabs. There's no way to know ahead of time which tabs you're actually gonna go back to and which you won't, so it's perfectly reasonable to save groups of tabs if there was a topic you were researching or whatever. Just save the tabs into a new bookmark folder with a descriptive name so you can find it later.

But with that said, 7000 is way beyond including just the things a person might ever actually want to go back to later.

I... Just search the history. It's there for a reason

This is hoarder behaviour, so I wouldn’t expect it to make sense as a general statement
