Andrew Pak (ID: 00000079f2396e6d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2018 Great for developers who rely on many tabs and windows open at the same time for work, e.g. AWS console views for various services, API documentation, email and other GSuite apps. You could close and open everything all the time, but that wastes time. Most devs already use type-to-open functionality in our IDEs, so this is the same but for browsers.

Mindy C. Jones (ID: 0000006d2317d014) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/28/2014 Best tab search extension I've tried. (I've tried many.) What I like about Mercury is the fact that it's always running, so it opens instantly when I want to use it. With other tab search extensions, there's a lag--often several seconds long--every time they're opened. A few seconds doesn't sound like much, but it feels like an eternity! I'm better off Ctrl+Tabbing or clicking through all my tabs than waiting for an extension to open. Mercury lets me search tabs quickly to find what I'm looking for more efficiently.
