Thats insane. But doesn't necessarily answer why you would need thousands of tabs actually open. It just sounds like so much effort to keep tabs open when you could just bookmark them and use a keyword to instantly go there when you need to.
I find the bookmark manager terrible, I rather paste URL in notepad than endure the bookmark manager's UI. I do end up dumping thousands of tabs into the bookmark manager, but never in 30 years have I bothered to use a bookmark. Except for the bookmarks toolbar.
Keeping the extremely primitive bookmark manager organized would suck up more of my time than all other browser task combined.
This discussion not about the bookmark manager, it is about pasting tabs from my clipboard. And the answer has been found. Unfortunately it is a two click process.
And opening 100+ tabs at once still clogs up the system because they all load immediately.
I use keywords for my bookmarks... way more effective then tabs... and it doesn't eat up computing power or RAM
Oh, I do not use that. I use the toolbar with folders and I add keywords to each bookmark. Usually the keyword is the name as I would type it quickly. Which has the nice effect of just taking me where I want to go.
You're being extremely vague on the use cases for thousands of damn tabs. Which in itself just sounds like a nightmare to ever have to lay eyes on. So I'll leave that mystery to you. But having to have thousands of tabs open sounds either malicious or inefficient. Because there is no way a nice work flow comes from 2000 tabs.
