This is tediously rehashed in every. single. thread. about tabs (someone's always gotta have a problem with someone else), but the fact is that some people have lots of tabs open while others don't. For me it's because bookmark management is such a forgotten child in all browsers, so I leave tabs in order to read them later.
The address bar used to be pretty helpful in calling up bookmarks (10+ years ago), but now there's too much featuritis there for me ever to rely on it again.

Well, a hundred is actually manageable. A thousand just takes up so much space, in any form, that you can't possible sort through them in any reasonable time.

That's why the address bar from Firefox is so awesome compared to the one from Chrome. I can easily find the opened tab.

Some extension that vertically groups tabs from the same domain would be great. I know in Vivaldi you can do this

I think you misunderstood. A tab per site, some kind of drop down-type interface per tab for each page on that site. So if you had 50 tabs, you'd have an average of 20 pages under each per tab.
That would indeed be a much better use of space.

There is that "tree style tabs" for FF as mentioned in other comments. I too would like this, but for chrome, and working with horizontal tab bars.

Come join us. We have free tree style tabs and a browser that doesn't send all your data to google : )
Also Chrome might be faster but FF has some unique advantages that makes it really great for serious work.
Also the speed advantage that Chrome currently has might be about to disappear : )
That reads like "while <more than I use> is ridiculous, <as many as I use> isn't that unreasonable".
I never have more than about ten tabs open, and a hundred strikes me as ridiculous too. To each his own, though, I guess.
