You’re almost there. Imagine a thing that was like a bookmark but also had its own individual history, and also kept track of where you currently are in that history.
Not at all the same thing. For one, you can open a history entry and then navigate back from that to the page you came from to that page - which there may be several. Tabs preserve per-tab history which makes it superior in many ways to both history and bookmarks.
fair point but in practice, I don’t really see it being useful very often… You could write an extension to implement that feature so that tabs dont crowd your space…
“Close all tabs” and bookmarks are also your friends.
If they made bookmarks that would update as you navigate, yes. Until then, no, they’re not a substitute for tabs.
You mean history?

Is their anything that implements this?
Yes, I think they’re calling them “tabs”.
My browser has tabs.
I think that’s what the history is for…

I mean, do whatever works for you, but that sounds kinda unnecessary when you can just use an already existing feature - tabs.
I do use tab, but they are kind of a problem too… I usually have 20+ tabs opened and many of them I never revisit.
Use a tab unloader addon. That way if you don’t revisit then they don’t take up any resources.
I use “Basic automated tab unloader” but there are several.
They would still use my attention and screen real estate, no?
Yes, book burning is mental hygiene
specially on Android where I manage to open new tabs on accident
