It's amazing how many people think having tons of tabs is insane. How about all browsers start limiting how many tabs can be opened at a time (to accommodate proper, sane usage rules)?

Firefox Focus on Android is there and it doesn't have a button to add a new tab. You can only create one by clicking a link from those already existing. Also, just four shortcuts for some reason and no bookmarks.

It's a great default browser to open random links from your apps: no cookies, no logins, always a private tab experience. But when you need a bit more (like translating a word in an article you are reading) it's restricted. Because Moz decided that's the way it should be.

Yeah I meant desktop browsers.

Doesn't matter if we talk about said concept in reality and how arbitrary limitations are weird. Although mobile internet usage is a little less incompatible with that idea.
