Using virtual desktops, there are over 100 tabs open in my firefox. I need something lightweight that I can use for various development activities ( for example to access the project management page ).
Suggestions?

Google Chrome. Small footprint and fast! However no plugins (no adblock, etc) are available.

Actually chrome comsumes more memory than the others. It is very fast indeed, but it doesn't have an small footprint at all.

That'll be the day when Google (Who make money advertising) allow adblocking plugins.

Another advantage of Google Chrome is that it is very strict when interpreting markup so it helped us discover bugs in our web application.

Isn't it just another webkit browser? I thought it renders HTML identically to all of them, and only the Javascript engine is different.

100 tabs??!!!
And I guess you don't want to sacrifice functionality?
You can use Links or Linx, they are very light but they are not graphical.
Why don't you just close some 10 tabs and open your management page on the remaining 10.

I would give QtWeb a go, it is essentially just one exe that is it.
If you want to go really lightweight (as in loose a lot of features) there is the OffByOne browser. Lightweight and still enough features: Arora (on Google code but not related to Chrome/Chromium), Midori (small and early in development) and my favorite before Chrome came out: K-Meleon.

Opera has traditionally been very good at handling extremely high tab counts. I haven't ever counted, but I had got it to the point where each tab was so narrow that it was 6 pixels wide (2 pixels left border, 2 gray pixels in the middle, 2 pixels right border) - which translates to ~200 tabs - without any observable performance problems (though, of course, it will use memory accordingly).

Chrome is no good. It slows down after 20-25 tabs, and Firefox isn't able to handle even 25 (after all the plugins are installed)..Opera does better than the two but not 100.
i am also searching for any browser that could handle this much...
If anyone knows then please help. i am sure the browser will not be mainstream
