You can switch tabs with seeing their previews

Tab Preview Board: A Preview Based Chrome Tab Switcher

'Tab Preview Board' is a Chrome extension that changes the way users switch tabs. Instead of only seeing the title of each open tab, users can now see previews of the content, thus enabling them to navigate and manage their tabs more effectively. Through regular updates, the extension has also come to support other functionalities such as opening a new tab, closing tabs, and customizing thumbnail quality.

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.
