Tab Ahead Extension

This extension helps you to quickly navigate through (the mess of) your currently open tabs by typing parts of their respective page titles or URLs using a fuzzy search (approximate string matching) algorithm.

Aspiring to bring Sublime Text's »Goto Anything...« to your Chrome Tabs.

Keyboard Shortcut:
Alt+T

Options:
You can choose to search through the current window or through all windows. The default setting is searching through the current window.

Privacy:
We do not find you to be all that interesting. Your questionable browsing history should remain between you and the NSA. Tab Ahead functions without any outbound communication. Period.

Keyboard/Hacker-friendly:
You can leave your mice at home.

Lightweight:
No background processes.

Sponsor/Support:
Support the development of this extension via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/janraasch/14,00 or GitHub Sponsors https://github.com/sponsors/janraasch.

Paul P. Soucek (ID: 0000009faf3324ae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/18/2021 Ditto to all the other reviews. Indispensible, and how I wish there were a Tab Ahead for Safari and Firefox. Why has no-one else come up with this genius sooner?
