Check Out The Tab Counter

In most of the cases, you could keep Chrome tabs in check by checking out the tab counter from time to time. Every time you open Chrome, you should see the tab counter on the top right of the screen near the plus button. The number you see on the tab counter corresponds to the number of currently opened tabs.
