The 'chromium' plugin has some fuzzy tab searching. From any page, tap `b` and type in a substring of a page title to match. It's quite nice.

I always liked the model of browser tabs as buffers rather than tabs. It reminds me of the philosophy difference between vim and emacs: since accessing a certain tab is O(N), Vim gets unwieldy if I have more tabs open than I have horizontal screen space. On the other hand, I have more than 500 Emacs buffers open and never have to worry when I switch between them. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use Chrome that way too!

Just FYI Vim is buffer-based too [1], windows (tabs) are a layer on top. There's also a nice plugin called fzf [2] for fuzzy searching open buffers or tabs.
