The Quick Tabs extension gives you autocomplete for Chrome tab titles:

Just type Ctrl+Q and you get a popup with IntelliJ-style autocomplete.
Another trick for Chrome tabs (unrelated to autocomplete) is to open a new window instead of a new tab when starting a new task. If I'm searching for information about a particular programming topic, I use Ctrl+N and do the search in a new window, then Ctrl+click or middle button click to open interesting search search results in new tabs in that window. Then when I'm done I can close that whole batch of tabs at once.
This may seem like an obvious thing to do, but I have seen people who never open a second Chrome window but just have dozens of unrelated tabs in the same window.
