Yes, the issue for me (besides any slow down) is if I have 10 Web browser 
windows with 10 tabs how can I quickly find the one tab that I am looking for?

On most (all?) browsers I only sees the title of the selected tab in the 
Windows list.  I just need to see a list of all titles or a visualisation of 
all tabs for all windows.

Is there any plugin in any browser that would do this?

Cheers,
Ashley.

PS Of course, Chrome's one process per tab is also a tradeoff (processes have 
overhead etc).  I try and put up with Safari's run-time architecture because of 
its standout features (UI, Reader, excellent printing).
