What you need is Tab Wrangler. It's an extension for Chrome. It will close inactive tabs for you. This means: - Tabs you don't care about will get closed. Even ones you think you care about but you don't really. If you cared you would have access the tab recently. - Tabs you do care about you will action appropriately. Either by finishing the task or by putting it into some kind of todo list/kippt/bookmarking/read later/etc. I find having too many tabs open is taxing on the brain. It makes you feel stressed because you have so many unfinished things to do. It also prevents you from focusing on what is important.
