I use tabs like I should use bookmarks.

Welcome to the club :-[
Probably worth getting some kind of session saver then. I not often using chrome, but liked this one:

Shades:
More often than not, I have boatloads of tabs open in FireFox. Doesn't take me long to get to 200+ open tabs... :-[
For FireFox there are extensions that can help:
Tabs Aside
Tab Manager Plus
Both can store sets of open tabs, for future reference.
Pretty certain these are available for Chrome too. But Chrome or Chrome-derived browsers will not be installed or used on any of my personal rigs. It's already bad enough I have to tolerate it on my phone.
On my lazy days I close the browser in my computers using Windows Task Manager or the infinitely better Process Explorer. This leaves the tabs intact and as browsers do a thing called 'lazy loading' of content in tabs, closing and re-opening browsers is hardly an issue. 'Lazy loading' means loading content when the tab is actually selected and not before.
My most extreme session (according to Tabs Aside): 343 tabs :-[

Unlike tomos I don't like the Tabs Outliner UI. 8)
For Chrome I can recommend Session Buddy: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko
I recall HOW MUCH it sucked when I lost ALL tabs... :o Now I save them once or twice a week.

Yes, Process Explorer is great to kill Chrome in a way that it will re-open all tabs 99% of the time. I use it for every reboot. :)

396 here! :-[
BUT my new goal is to keep it below 100... 89 open right now (and about to close 2 tabs 8) ). It's been almost a month now, I still have high hopes I'll succeed! :D
