Extension summary

I like using Chrome with keyboard shortcuts and I like using Chrome in presentation mode. I wasn't too happy with the built in options for flicking through tabs baked into the browser.

So I built this extension to offer an OS like keyboard driven tab switcher, in the window of your Chrome browser.

Press a key shortcut to navigate to your next tab, press a key shortcut to navigate to you previous tab.

Great tool for full screen (presentation mode) browsing, no toolbars, tab navigation right in your web window!

Works Well
by Annal Pokharel, 2020-11-29

Great extension! I just spent whole afternoon searching for one that support intuitive tab switching, this exactly satisfied my demand, and I'd also like to give some advice: 1. The background color of the tabs could be darker to adapt to dark mode; 2. Currently tabs can't be chosen by press 'Enter' but by 'Command' or 'Option', which is not so intuitive. Otherwise great! Thank you for your great work!
