As a former multiple hundreds of tab users. I did t know I could write a hn article about it. :P But the way I solved was by not having all 100s+ tabs in 1 window frame. But by dragging out a few tabs into another windows frame. And sorting that way. Combined with multiple 27" 2560*1440 monitors. I never had any issues. Most the plug-ins are meh or add instability. Never had any slowness or issues with performance or crashes and I'm not doing anything special or different at all. Or at least I don't think I am.

However as of late I've been trying to keep total count under 20. Though it's often quite difficult.

This is how I use Conkeror (Firefox-based Emacs-like browser, for those who aren't familiar with it). Since each frame has its own unique buffer list, it's pretty easy to create new frames (C-x 5 2) and use them to segregate tabs/buffers based on tasks.
