Browser tab management

I’m one of those people that uses the browser as a todo list – there are multiple 100s of tabs open across my browsers and several computers. These are extensions and settings that I’ve found invaluable.

Vertical Tabs

for Firefox 4 – Tree Style Tab extension
for Chrome – type “about:flags” into the URL, enable “Side Tabs“, restart, right-click in tab area and choose Side Tabs

Tab Thumbnail View

for FireFox 4: Panorama (built in)
for Chomre: Sugar extension

These aren’t exactly tab-related, but they allow for mostly seamless hopping between browsers and between computers.

Password Sync for both Firefox 4 and Chrome: LastPass extension
Bookmark Sync for both Firefox 4 and Chrome: Xmarks extension

If you ever find yourself on the Mac, my favorite iteration of tabs can be found in OmniWeb; it uses vertical tabs with thumbnails. If you have a whole lot of tabs it might be suboptimal for you, but given that it sort of combines the two tab variants you talk about, I thought it would be worth a mention.
