I've been obsessed with developing ways to make it easier to handle tab overload in the browser without requiring any sort of active "tab management".
I have a working extension that replaces the "new tab" page with a clean view of all open tabs, along with simple ways to search and select which tab to switch to, including search over bookmarks and history. There are also some simple tools to allow for creating and reorganizing tab groups.
I'm very early and looking for feedback from anyone who suffers from tab overwhelm like I do! You can try it out at http://bit.ly/tab-o-magic!
Adding the ability to view the full title is an easy fix, I'll include that in the next push.
The history and bookmarks point is a good one. It's possible to specify those as optional permissions for the extension, so users could decide whether or not to enable them. One idea that motivates the project is that it's easier to close tabs when you know you can always get back to them quickly, so history and bookmark search are necessary to enable that mindset. I'll ruminate on this one a little more.
The idea of using it without replacing the "new tab" page had never occurred to me. Let me think about that one, too.
Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm testing interest on chrome, and, if it finds traction, I will definitely port it to be browser-agnostic. It _should_ be pretty straightforward.

Continua was founded in April 2023 by a Distinguished Engineer from Google Research to reinvent how people interact with information, with services, and with each other.
We're very early; after building several prototypes in our first few months, we’ve developed conviction about an MVP, and we’re building like mad to bring our ideas to users. This is an opportunity to join and help set the product and technical direction of this brand-new company! ML engineers at Continua work on new approaches for knowledge representation, multimodality, and personalization under computational resource constraints. Systems engineers at Continua work on a wide variety of secure and reliable backend services and data pipelines to power our products.
We’re backed by tier-1 VCs, and we’ve already assembled a team of six engineers with backgrounds at Google, Microsoft, Slack, SpaceX, CourseHero, and Stash. We have a limited number of additional spots available on the team for engineers who are excited about building innovative products that leverage the latest advances in ML.

Brian Kernighan's "Unix: A History and a Memoir" is an excellent read on the computer systems achievements of the labs through the eyes of someone who was at the center of it all.
