Is there any way to get Google Chrome to use multiple rows for tabs?
I haven't been able to find an extension, or a mention of this feature coming up in a future release.

In short, you can't, and it doesn't seem to be coming. I'm guessing they're trying to teach you good tab management and to let make you play with the tab ripping.
There are many alternative solutions to tab overload though. Take a look at TooManyTabs.
Take a look at TabsOutliner extension. It gives you editable overview of all the windows and tabs in Chrome. Here is a screenshot:
A work around would be to use pin tabs. If you right click a tab and choose pin
it will become a small button to the very left. Also, it'll stay there when you close your browser and open it again.
Doesn't solve the problem but you'll at least get a better overview of your tabs
"tree style tabs" is a good alternative, I just miss a shortcut hotkey to open it instead of clicking on its icon.. also options to enlarge the list. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tree-style-tabs-beta/ffididlaalcoegfcalmeldjfnihmoech
I miss also at pin tabs, an option to make the pinned smaller, so there could have more!, the width of the page icon is good enough, actually it occupies twice that size :(
There's currently no way to get multiple rows of tabs, but I think the best alternative is tab groups. Just right click any of your tabs, and look for the "Add tab to group" option. I tend to use tab groups for all of the tabs that I rarely close.
Try Tab Groups Extension , it handles built in Chrome tab groups, and also allows for rules to be set (E.G. add anything containing Youtube or Netflix to "@Media" group). Great looking UI, only thing that is missing is Seach.
Also works great with Previous tab, as this one allows you to switch between current tab and last tab. Would be nice to have a longer tab history.
I also use Swith workstation as this is a sidebar that allows you to see your tabs grouped by source site. It allows you to close all Youtube tabs open for example. Would be nice if you had the option to close all except 1.
I am not sure there a way currently for having rows of tabs in Chrome. However - If you want a way to view or search your open tabs then you can use a short cut
shift + cmd + a
this will bring a side bar where you can search and go to the tab you are interested. It will even list tabs that have been recently closed.
