I closed a lot of browser tabs

Pinboard

This is a type of FOMO. You start collecting Absolutely Essential Reading in tabs, stuff that you'll for sure read later, no joke, seriously. You never will. But you can't close the tab or you can't find the content again and bookmarking is mostly useless if you use multiple computers and browsers daily. I got over my tab-itis with Pinboard[0]. If stuff seems to sit in my tabs for too long, I can send the link easily to Pinboard, slap on a few tags if it's an unique one or grab a few of the suggested ones if it's a common bookmark. With the Archiving feature it'll even mirror the content for me so it doesn't get lost in the tides of time. I'll never look at most of the stuff I pin, but my mind is at ease because the precious stuff is stored =) [0] https://pinboard.in/.

DuckDuckGo: Bang

Same. I usually open our company's MatterMost in the first tab when I start (the only one I leave open all day), and will clear out anything else if I'm done with some task that required them. If I want to read something later I'll find it with DuckDuckGo or just the browser history. If I use it often the address bar will prioritize it so even just the first letter of the URL will show it at the top of the list. For sites that I search frequently I use DuckDuckGo's bangs directly in the address bar: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.

BrainTool

Check out BrainTool (https://braintool.org) it's a browser extension that allows you to trivially add pages to a custom hierarchal 'Topic tree' along with notes on why you're saving the page, and then to control opening and closing tabs by topic. Everything is saved to an org-mode syntax text file. So of your requirements it's persistent, local, tagged and entirely-offline-usable. Incremental search is in the works. It works with tab groups on Chrome, Edge and Brave which adds another step toward keeping your browser organized. It might fit your workflow and be what you need!
