Yes please! A browser built around this workflow would be fantastic. You don't have any idea how many times I've accidentally closed one of my "workspace" browsers and left another browser open and lost several hours worth of research because there's no good way to retrieve all of the tabs that were there in a simple way. Keeping the tabs as bookmarks would likewise be even better since I've brought even quad core systems with 8 GB of RAM to their knees on occasion. The only way I can get along now is by using extensions like flashblocker which helps somewhat with the performance, but still doesn't help much with the workflow.
The worst thing is that there seems to be this weird proclivity for GUI designers to put long lists of things horizontally instead of vertically, the Windows Task Bar, Tabs in browsers, diagrams in Visio, etc. Wouldn't these things just work about a billion times better as a simple list along the left or right side of the window? Especially since most screens these days are so wide, web pages never actually fill them up horizontally. (Yes, I'd tried various extensions, but none of them really seem to do what I want).
You happen to have interested an iPad developer who thinks this is an excellent idea. Please send more details on this idea to the address in my profile, and I'll see what can be done to make it a reality in a quite moment one day :OD
