I feel your pain. I have often reached 600+ tabs. I might have touched thousands. Didn't count.
I tried One Tab. It seems to work for many people here but for me once in a while it lost all the tabs, which is not acceptable. See, the whole point of OneTab is to free my mind of all anxiety that I might lose a resource that I had discovered and at the same time, free the RAM.
So here is what I use now. This might or might not work for you.
* I use Zim Desktop Wiki to keep track of my important links. I use Zim-Clip extension to save links that I might need long term. I can use an hierarchical structure of any depth.
* I use a Session Manager "MySessions" to save work that I can open again when I come back to it. Typically I work on 4 different projects. Then there is mindless, bottomless browsing :) So each is a different session
* Lean Tab Limiter to control how many tabs are open at any one time
* "Open Tab Count Resurrected" to be give count of number of tabs in current window and total number of tabs across windows.
* Pocket to save links to read that I might not come back for reference
This is what I use to tame the multitabbed monster
