There's a manager I've worked with and someone had a great description of her:
"She operates like a phone that hasn't been rebooted in too long"
My (admittedly unapologetically judgemental) view is that people that need more than a couple of tabs open from one day to the next are either too disorganised to bookmark the pages or are trying to juggle an obviously unreasonable and unsustainable number of topics. I find everything interesting, so I want to read and re-visit a LOT, but because of that it's become obvious to me that 99.9% of the time I'm never going to get back to that interesting thing (and if it's ends up being worthwhile enough then I'm sure I'll come across it again or be able to find it if and when I have the time).
I'm like you in that I almost make a point of closing all the tabs when I close the browser - and I often close the browser on a daily basis.
There's someone else I know who has multiple browser windows each with multiple tabs, and they just don't shutdown their computer because it's "state" represents where they are in their overall workflow. To me, that indicates a number of problems.
Caveat: I occasionally rely on the browser, upon start-up, re-opening the same tab/tabs (usually a maximum of two tabs) that were open when I closed the browser the previous day.
