In the meantime and if you don't like the TMP-alternative extensions
to manage multiple tabs in Chrome (Tab Outliner, OneTab,
TooManyTabs, Tab Glutton or Tab Menu)

Do any of them do multi-row tabs? (I could try them, but it sounds
like you have, so it's easier to ask you.)

They all have pictures at the extensions' pages at the Chrome store.
You can get an idea of which layout you like best.

OK, Looking. Thanks for the list.
Tabs Outliner (couldn't find one without the s) looks rather complicated
- more like a bookmarks (OK, Favorites) manager.
OneTab is a bit extreme - reduces to one tab - but the memory saving
looks attractive. (Though presumably means switching tabs is slow.)
TooManyTabs - maybe.
Tab Finder Light - looks promising.
Tab Glutton - there are two with that name! I presume you're using the
one by nsand.
Tab Menu - looks nice and simple - nothing about groups etc.

The installation warning messages are ambiguous: when I try "Tab Finder
Light", Chrome tells me that "It can: Read and change all your data on
the websites that you visit". The word "on" is ambiguous: does it mean
"about", i. e. it can change locally-held data, or "at", i. e. change
data held remotely?
When I try "Tab Menu", it _doesn't_ give the above warning, just that
"It can: Read your browsing history". Again, ambiguous - does this mean
"and send it somewhere"? I don't mind the extension knowing it locally.
(In practice, my history's probably logged somewhere anyway.)
Think I'll go with that one - yes, nice and simple. (Would be nice if it
scrolled when I move the cursor to the bottom one rather than having to
use the almost-invisible scroll bar, but can't have everything!)

Right now I'm using the Tab Glutton extension: simple and works.
However, instead rows of tabs (which would have to be a separate side
panel or other in-document frame since the tab bar cannot be altered),

Since it can't be altered, it'd be nice if I could just make it
disappear altogether, since it serves no purpose.

it shows a drop-down list of tabs. I don't see my eyes rolling left
and right to scan tabs (or rows of them) as easier then my eyes rolling

And the up and down list can show more of the tab's title.

up and down to scan a list. I have used some others but eventually I
got rid of them simply because I didn't much use them.

In Firefox when you open lots of tabs, at the right end of its tab row
appears a down-arrow. Click on that and you see a list of the tabs.
Tab Glutton gives me a very similar listing, so it makes Firefox and
Chrome similar in behavior (except Firefox's down-arrow is at the end
of the tab row versus Tab Glutton which is a button in the command bar
in Chrome).
Tab Menu is the same. (In Firefox, I'm still using Tab Mix Plus, which
lets me have multiple lines of tabs, which I like.)
