As a previous tab hoarder, excessive use of bookmarks is the answer. Organized is more useful, but even a single bookmark folder for all of your "I'll need this later" tabs will do wonders for you, and being a bookmark hoarder is so much more functional than being a tab hoarder. You can actual reset your browser every once in a while.

But then I'll have to take an explicit action to keep my tab! I'd much rather have no action required to save that tab that I'm likely to never visit again.

Why not both? I currently have around 400 tabs open, and I cant even count how many bookmarks I have.
