Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Have you ever googled? I bet you do! Or searched something navigating through the links on a page, eventually finding yourself with a number of tabs opened, which are not needed anymore after you've found that you were looking for. It would be nice to indicate to the browser that the tabs could be closed, instead of closing them by hand.

This extension provides you with such a feature through a handy toolbar at the bottom of the page which lets you close connected tabs and switch between them in one click. You're also offered a way to navigate to any suggested page from the search engine results page in one tab without switching back and forth. One click navigation!

Features:

  • The Suggests button works in two modes: as a button on short click and as a select on holding left mouse button. Middle mouse button click opens a page in a new tab.

  • For a faster navigation consider using hot keys: Ctrl + Shift + F – Found Ctrl + Shift + K – The Next page Ctrl + M – Minimize/restore the panel
