Not only does it save you memory, it also reduces CPU usage because Chrome would otherwise continue to run scripts in all of your open tabs.

Depending on the complexity of the web pages, having 100 open tabs can easily cripple a brand new laptop with 8GB ram.

Having 100 open tabs would be unmanageable from a UI perspective. I can't deal with more than about 8 open at once, per window. I just bookmark stuff to come back to later if I'm dealing with more.

So ... it's not a technical problem.

My UI lets me press b to do a substring search on the url/title, which makes managing 100+ tabs trivial. And I often need to have a lot of tickets/revisions/forum threads/stack overflow questions open in tabs at the same time for my work.

Don't project your UI limitations onto other people please :)

Did you try Ctrl-tab?
