What is the best Chrome extension for managing too many tabs?

Some of these quietly park what you cannot close; others want every tab filed into a project first. Thirteen answers to the same forty-tab afternoon.

1. 1
   Tab Black Hole

   Sets a tab limit for each window and slides everything above it into one group at the end of the tab strip, where nothing closes on its own. The rare limiter that parks your overflow instead of blocking new tabs or killing old ones, so the pile stays one click away. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-black-hole/kdjljmhpekmmmipeffindanjbblgpngo
