I have a dream. What I really want was likely not possible when tabs were invented, but should be now.

I want least recently used tabs to automatically fade away, but still be fully known and searchable the way that 'search my computer' or 'google search' works. With search filters like last hour/day/week/month. And it seems like history should be kept per tab, not altogether.

This way I keep a minimal-to-medium number of active tabs, but have all those magical things-to-do, pseudo-bookmarks, or other things that cause open tabs to grow and grow available via a quick search interface, auto-magically.

The great suspender will get you part of the way there.
Agree, need it a lot because of Chrome memory hogging.
As others have said, OneTab is great, but also check out the Shift+T fuzzy tab search in Vimium: https://vimium.github.io/
This is a wonderful concept. Absolutely love the idea.
