Tab Roulette Extension

This extension will cycle through any open tabs. It comes with an option page allowing you to specify how long each tab should be displayed and whether or not it should be reloaded.

Upon opening the options dialog it'll cycle through all the tabs to take a screenshot making it easier to see which tab you're configuring.

Keep in mind that this was an evening project and probably contain a lot of rough edges so don't blame me if something catches on fire.

Jamieson Christian (ID: 00000078a9d692aa) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/01/2017 Tab Roulette seemed like the perfect means to rotate through tabs — with its easy-to-use design, you just open your tabs and activate it. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work with tabs that are opened to local files (the file:// protocol). Since all my slides were local files, Tab Roulette complained that I didn't have any tabs open. It's too bad — this extension is much easier to use than the one I ended up going with.
