I can't live without Tab Mix Plus and multi-row tabs on Firefox. On Chrome I can't even be a power tabber. It's pretty much the only reason I've stuck with Firefox over Chrome.
The post-crash session restore seems to work well for me; and luckily it's not a frequent occurrence.
At one point, the post-crash session restore on Firefox actually single handedly made me move to Chrome. Another reason was the fact that I needed to kill its process because the UI became unresponsive.
Chrome was fresh and snappy, not a fair comparison at that point but it was definitely fast. I never wanted to switch away from Firefox but I felt like I had to because it had become unusable.
I've switched back to Firefox since and all the previous problems were gone. It's been very reliable and if it did crash (which can still happen like with all software) it would restore my tabs just fine. I just like it better than I ever did Chrome and I certainly like the organization behind Firefox better than that behind Chrome. :)
I'm not sure how you can use Chrome with a lot of tabs anyway. Maybe with a mouse with a DPI switch so you can hit the few pixes they size down to if you have 20+?
Keyboard controls to switch tabs. But I can have about 20 before they get too small to click on my laptop -- but they've already become too small to know what is in what tab at that point. I do it anyway. Because my browser is just about as messy as my physical desktop or my apartment.
