As a tabaholic, maybe the OneTab plug-in can help with my addiction. It might also get me back on Chrome more regularly although really my main issue is the inconsistent behavior of the 1Password extension.
Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once.
When your tabs are in the OneTab list, you will save up to 95% of memory because you will have reduced the number of tabs open in Google Chrome.
