Tab+ Extension

Since 2013, this extension has brought to you some missing basic tabs management features:
- Always select tabs when opening
- Always position tabs last when opening
- Add a context menu item for opening links in the background/foreground tab depending on the options settings

New since 2024, it will also allow you to see and manage all your tabs at a glance (click the tab+ icon or hit Ctrl+Shift+e to give it a try) :
- Quick search
- Tab moving
- Duplicate tabs detection
- Save a window and restore it later (doesn't keep history)
- Restore saved windows with tabs in an idle state (incognito window are not restored incognito)

All of this, respecting your privacy, with no telemetry data or stuff like that.

(If you want to be able to manage your incognito session, click right on the extension icon -> \"manage extension\" and check the \"Allow in incognito\" checkbox)
