Chrome Show Tab Numbers Extension

This extension shows tab numbers. In other words, this extension adds a numeric prefix to each tab title. For example, \"1. GitHub,\" \"99. Google Calendar,\" and so on.

With this extension, you can detect each tab's number easily and navigate between tabs with ctrl/⌘ + 1-9 keys.

Key features:

- This extension supports Google Chrome’s collapsed tab group feature, automatically ignoring tabs in a collapsed tab group.
- You can toggle tab numbering for all tabs or just the current one via keyboard shortcuts or the extension’s context menu.
- Tab numbers can be relative, displaying the current tab’s absolute number and indicating the position of other tabs relative to it ― how many tabs they are ahead or behind the current one.

This extension is an open source software. You’re welcome to report bugs or suggest features at https://github.com/kg8m/chrome-show-tab-numbers/issues .
