Hi, my name is David, and I'm a tabaholic.

I know I have a tab problem when there are so many of them that the browser just stops rendering the favicon.

See the attached image, as evidence.

I've had this problem for as long as I can remember (which admittedly isn't that long).  At least as long as the existence of browsers supporting the tab concept.  So, really, this is their fault.  For enabling my addiction.

But I recognize the addiction, which puts me at step 1 of the 12 steps, right?  Being a technonerd, I believe steps 2 through 12 are therefore all variations on trying to find some piece of clever software gadgetry that will 'solve' this problem for me by improving the interface with which I manage tabs.  In software, the problem is never that there is too much of something, it's that the interface hasn't tailored itself appropriately to the scale of the information set.

Right?

That's my story.  So now I have to go find some plugin for chrome and/or firefox (preferably both) that can haul me out of this tab tarpit.  Because I'm sure as heck not going to just start closing tabs.  That'd be crazy.

Thank you so much for that. I am also an advanced tabaholic. There are just so many pages on the internet and they're all so hard to find and/or remember. If you ever need any kind of support just let me know and I'll be there for you *holds back tears*
