From this XDA post- you need a rooted device ( you can't access /data/data/
without root )
- Download a root explorer capable app such as ES file explorer
Download a root explorer capable app such as ES file explorer
Navigate to chromes profile directory, mine was at /data/data/com.android.chrome
Open the app_tabs folder
You should now see a single folder labeled "0"
Select it and open its properties, under file count deduct 1 and that will be how many tabs you have open currently, deduct 1 because 1 file in there is only an overall tab state file

Verified on my device ( Moto X Play, 6.0.1, Chrome 52.0. 2743.91
) when the tabs open are 4 = Files
(5) minus one
