About
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. Discovered a bug?
