I actually love Chrome for this use case, as I can use the Task Manager view to kill all my tabs while leaving them "open". I additionally made a one-line change to my local build of Chromium so that when I open it all tabs come up "crashed", so I can now manage a nearly infinite number of tabs with almost no memory usage at all.


What was that one-line change? That'd be useful for me as well.
