The Tabs Meme Made Me Do It
Saturday, 26 February 2011 10:31So, in many ways I find Google Chrome to be an amazeballs browser right out of the box.
One of the terrible design choices that they have made, however, is that they do not provide a list of the titles of your open tabs, or, if such a list exists, it has not been discovered by this power user. (Both Firefox and IE have a button at one side of the row of tab titles which, when clicked, will display a list of all the currently open tab titles.)
So, this morning, I decided to go checking the web to see if someone with more programming skill than I had also felt this lack and done something about it.
And they had!
The best looking one, I think, is TooManyTabs, which gives you some real organizing and saving capabilities. VerticalTabs is more like the native capability on FF or IE, but with some added keyboard control. And Tab Title Search is all keyboard interaction, no mousing. And I found a list of other tab managing extensions to check out.
P.S. I felt so proud of myself, I made an icon!![[portal cake: This is a triumph! I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/748999/338)
