Tab Monkey Extension

If you have a lot of tabs open, the ability to bookmark tabs and jump directly to them, as well as to the previously active tab, will save you a lot of time. This extension does that.

I personally make GMail #1, music streaming (beastmode.fm) #2, Netflix #3 and quickly bounce between them and 50 other tabs.

Jay Rinaldi (ID: 000000ea637a948a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/05/2013 Oh this extension is just what I've been looking for since ages. Too bad it has this hardwired shortcuts, since I can't use them on my keyboard, since I have ALT-2 for my @ which I can't type anymore. So it rendered it useless for me. Otherwise full 5 stars.

Thomas Willheim (ID: 00000028b3884792) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/14/2013 Just what I was looking for. Can now jump between two tabs. Too bad it gets rid of the preset ability to jump between tabs 1-8. Now you have to bookmark anything you want to jump to. Why not give users the option to use the boomarking tool, when some of them probably only want the "jump between 2 tabs ability"
