It's got search.

Your tabs don't have search and you pay for having a large number of tabs every time you switch tabs.

I'd agree the user interface would be better. If there was a good API to export your history from a few different browsers to some program that organizes your history that would make a big difference but that might be the beginning of the end of the browser monopoly so it won't happen.

But what exactly should I search for? The whole point is that list is I don't remember.

Frankly looking at 40 tabs I forget what I am looking for in the time I need to switch tabs.

40 tabs are 40 todos. They are not for the search but for looking at them all. Also, in Firefox you can search through opened tabs with '%' symbol in the URL field.

Nitpick. Ctrl + Shift + A will let you search open tabs by title or url. (in Chrome)
