Too many tabs slowing your computer?

I keep tabs open on my browser so that I don't have to remember all the web sites that I want to visit or haven't finished using yet. Problem is that as I keep so many tabs open it's now my computer that runs out of memory and becomes painfully slow.

Another example of a digital irony, as discussed by Edward Tenner in his book Why Things Bite Back.

However on this occassion there is a fix and it's called OneTab, a browser extension for Firefox and Chrome.

So, when you've got a load of tabs open, just click the OneTab button on your toolbar and all your tabs will be converted into a list of URLs.

When you want to use the tabs again you can restore them all at once or individually.

You can export your list and share it with others, re-order your list and, very importantly, if you accidentally close the OneTab window, if your browser crashes, or if restart your computer, you will not lose your list of tabs.
