Because I've been "browsing" O'Reilly's Safari, I ended up with 25 - 30 tabs open (maybe 40). I started bookmarking them so that I could close them. When I went into Chrome's bookmark manager to check my work and maybe export a backup, the bookmark manager page was blank except for a few basic elements and non-responsive. Googling the issue provided no authoritative answer. Several descriptions of similar behavior, spanning several months, with private individuals coming up with their own solutions -- which varied. This included posts to the Google help forum(s); private solutions -- I didn't see one response from a Googler. Some solutions were involved enough, in an annoying way, that I didn't want to try them if there was something simpler. Reading between the lines of the solutions I happened upon, and remembering some of my past experiences with Chrome -- albeit some time ago -- when resource/memory utilization/exhaustion seemed to be an issue, I started closing tabs, trusting that since I could see the bookmarks within the bookmark bar's "Other Bookmarks" folder, the bookmarks were actually saved and I would have a reasonable chance of retaining them. (This is what I originally wanted to confirm in the bookmark manager before closing the tabs.) Sure enough, after I'd whacked 10 or 15 tabs open to O'Reilly Safari pages, the bookmark manager started opening completely and responding properly, again. Apparently, Chrome was reaching some limit and failing silently -- in this case, failing to successfully initialize/open the bookmark manager. Big meh. Chrome may be fast and innovative in terms of execution and rendering, but it -- and Google more generally -- still leave a lot to be desired in terms of usability and well considered feedback especially for the general user.
