"Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once.
When your tabs are in the OneTab list, you will save up to 95% of memory because you will have reduced the number of tabs open in Google Chrome."

I find having too many tabs open is taxing on the brain. It makes you feel stressed because you have so many unfinished things to do. It also prevents you from focusing on what is important.

You might want to sit down for this. Are you sitting down? Good. The browser you want is Internet Explorer. (I know, right? But I'm serious!) IE lets you turn off tabbed browsing completely with a simple settings change. The following steps are how you do it in Windows 7/IE 10, they may vary slightly for other versions of Windows or IE. 1) Go to Control Panel > Internet Options. 2) Go to the "General" tab. 3) Click t…
