This extension does not work..... it has not been tested...........tab images show the wrong tab numbers.....and also they overlay with NEW but wRONG tab info above the tab image...............conflicted.......... i doubt its been tested . Vivavldi.........tried on..............over 100 million users....... The extension is a good idea......so i hope it can be fixed . Please remove the exntension If fixed the designer should then do proper testing. Thanks.df

The function is very practical, but it can only display normally and is not centered.

Exactly what I have been searching for! Only extension of this kind that has worked at all. - super fast (scary fast) - LOADS IMAGES** - shows other windows as well! just not other profiles but that is to be expected - shows tab names and icons **only loads images that are loaded, so if you have tabs unloaded to save power etc it will need to be loaded to show the IMAGE. still shows the tab names. by loaded I mean it does not have that gray dotted circle around the website icon on regular chrome tabs.
