Yup, widescreen monitor, I moved my tabs over to the left side on Firefox and use a tree view extension. Tabs on top is definitely not for power (tab) users.

I have the feeling this multiple-tab-thing is similar to the desktop cluttering, back in the days. Temporary downloads, you don't need for long, but somehow you delete them only if the desktop is full.

My browser bookmarks just fine. Why do I need all these pages currently loaded into memory?

If people want thousands of tabs then let's help them do that instead of shaming them.

If it was designed for that use case it wouldn't keep them all loaded in memory
That's a completely emotional response. "It makes the tab bar completely unusable" -- maybe the problem is with the tab bar, not the user. What if browsers were designed for the lots-of-tabs use case? Perhaps if effort was put into it, we could come up with some good solutions. I would bet that there's a not-insignificant number of users who have heaps of tabs open.
