Why do you want to limit the number of buffers Emacs keeps?  Other
browsers don't, I think.

When you go back to a previously visited URL, do you need to check if
it's outdated?  Do other browsers?  If not, just displaying the same
buffer is all you need to do.

I'm confused: don't you name each buffer according to the URL it
shows?  (No, I didn't yet try eww.el.)  If so, the names are already
different.
