Not to do a "you're holding it wrong", but why would you want so many tabs that they go offscreen?

More precisely, why 100 tabs in 1 window instead of 10 tabs times 10 windows?

It's not something I ever do, but I imagine the answer to your question is that you can easily search for a particular tab when they are all in one window, but it would become a big chore if you had to switch between multiple windows and search each one to find a tab.

I don't understand tab hoarding either but Chrome/Brave's tab bar poor design becomes a problem even in what I'd consider pretty mundane scenarios.

Imagine you snap your browser to half your screen. Assuming it's not an ultrawide, you'll be able to fit maybe a dozen tabs before they're so tiny to be essentially useless.

Because it's easier to handle? You open a new tab with a mindless Ctrl+T, if I wanted to do some organizing I would clean up my desk instead.

I still don't understand why some people believe that the correct answer is anything other than 100 windows.

My platform has 40 years of well refined tools for managing windows, all of which work nicely and consistently across all applications. By comparison, all of the tab management systems are crude amatuerish knockoffs trying to reinvent the same tools from first principles, and isolated to a single application that's then inconsistent with everything else.

On Firefox, at least, search will surface tabs in other windows. I often have 2 browser windows open, one for each monitor (one mostly for streaming content while I dick around on the other one).
