One Tab Extension Extension

The One Tab extension ensures that the Matecat, Smartcat, Lingotek, or Crowdin job tab in Chrome is reused when you press Ctrl+E in ApSIC Xbench to open a segment right at the segment in the online Matecat or Smartcat editor.

It greatly improves the user experience when using ApSIC Xbench to run QA on a web editor job because you do not have to manually close the tab created after pressing Ctrl+E in Xbench.

However, to properly do its job, this extension requires \"Read browsing history\" permission because it has to search for the right tab among all tabs that are currently open in Chrome.

This extension also works with self-hosted Matecat sites.

The extension is open sourced by the ApSIC Xbench development team and you can find its source code at Github: https://github.com/xbench/one-tab-for-matecat
