Imagine if it were 300. Guess you will need much RAM. Chrome opens only the first tab. Actual results: Many tabs opened. Expected results: Maybe there should be a limit like (not Chrome's one) 10 tabs or 7 tabs. What site would need more than that?

Pretty sure adding a limit is a dupe of one of the "eviltraps" mitigations. Would be a great idea.

We have a limit if window.open() opens popups rather than tabs. We should apply the same limit to tabs.
