▬▬▬▬▬ Tab Thumbnails Switcher is a native extension ▬▬▬▬▬
Tab Thumbnails Switcher brings out the power of Chrome's native
extensibility to gain essential advantages over regular extensions:
✔ The tab menu is implemented in machine code, which allows it to
pop up instantly without annoying loading delays.
✔ It can redefine Ctrl+Tab shortcut for switching between tabs.
✔ It doesn't inject code into every page you visit, thus avoiding
sluggish page loads and conserving CPU and memory.
✔ It works on ALL tabs. Either PDF documents, the New Tab
Page, extension pages, Chrome pages, you name it.
