Create a slideshow based on the open tabs in your browser window.
Tab Slideshow Extension
The functionality is simple: press the Tab Slideshow icon in your extension tray, input the interval length (the amount of time to spend on each tab) and press 'Begin'. Tabs will then change automatically after the specified interval of time is up.
The slideshow stops when a new tab/window is created, an existing tab is closed or you press the 'Stop' button from within the popup window.

If you find this extension useful, but wanted the ability to add a refresh interval, try out Tab Slideshow Plus (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iaehgcjemgeldahhdeafbdeglfbaecll)! It's basically the same extension with the only difference being the refresh interval parameter, but I didn't want to introduce any bugs in this version.
