Ever had that problem where you had so many tabs in your browser’s tab-bar that there was literally no way of determining which is which and, of course, you had to manually check then one by one until you find the right one?
If that’s the case, here a nifty little extension that might be exactly what you need. Dubbed GoTo Tab, this tiny Chrome extension basically transforms/converts all your open tabs into a list which can be effortlessly accessed via a single mouse click on its taskbar icon.
Non-impressive yet highly useful extension that helps you with your tab work
Thinking of GoTo Tab for Chrome like a sort of vertical tab-bar might work, as well. The main highlight is provided by the fact that all your open tabs are displayed in a much more comprehensive way, in a scrollable drop-down list, regardless of how many they are.
There’s yet another advantage offered by this lightweight extension: instant search capabilities – quite handy when even the Go to Tab list seems a bit too bulky to scroll up and down for locating a particular tab.
Lastly, please note that may be able to improve your multi-tab-tasking even more by assigning a keyboard combination. Simply access Chrome’s menu, select More Tools, and then the Extensions section. Make your way down to the bottom of the page and click “Keyboard Shortcuts”, from where you should be able to assign any keyboard combination in order to activate the extension.
Switching between immense numbers of open tabs has never been easier
Surely, with its pragmatic looks and limited set of features, this is not exactly the most impressive extension out there. Nor should it, for that matter. The whole point of GoTo Tab is to be as simple, easy-to-operate and clutter-free, a fact also achieved thanks to its clean looks and novice-accessible UI.
To end with, GoTo Tab is not the only extension of this sort found in the Chrome Web Store, but it’s definitely one the most (if not the most) straightforward of the lot.
