Find and navigate to an opened tab
Tab Finder - by floverdevel Extension
Do you have too many windows opened in your browser?
Tab Finder - by floverdevel is your friend.
It displays the list of currently opened tabs, even those in others windows, even those in Incognito Mode if you allow the extension to run in Incognito Mode (look for the «Allow in incognito» checkbox in your browser's extensions list «chrome://extensions/»).
It filters the list by searching by tab's title and/or tab's URL.
It navigates to the selected tab (select a tab by clicking on it or using the arrows keys then the Enter key), and brings its containing window to the foreground.
It can create a new tab in current window (or in a new window using the shift key).
If your search looks like a valid URL, the new tab will navigate to this URL, otherwise the new tab will trigger a Google search.
Don't forget to rate and leave me a comment if you like and/or hate this extension.
