I tend to use tabs as a stack of temporary bookmarks, I navigate to a

Mostly I'm just putting things on the stack or pulling them off, I
don't tend to go back to a tab I've previously been at, so it's always
bugged me that firefox thinks it needs to load all my tabs and keep
them in memory constantly.
I have this idea of a stack based browser, where instead of opening a
new window(or tab) it just adds the link to a stack(maybe using
vertical dmenu), that I can pull stuff off.
I use tabbed browser in the same way as you, and would also like to see
a stack- or fifo-based browser -- or perhaps an external program that
would provide this functionality to surf or uzbl.
One reason I have used tabs is to preload a webpage in the background.
If the utility could preload the next page, it would address this
need. But I don't see a need to preload *every* page. (Of course,
if the web were suckless, pages wouldn't take so long to load and
this wouldn't be an issue.)
