It's nice but it is inconsistent with the text field; sometimes when you launch it, it doesn't put the cursor in the text field, so you have to press Shift+Tab once or twice to reach it, but it's not every time so that makes it annoying to work with. It also has no "X" button to close tabs like Quick Tabs Ported does.

Is Fast Tab Switcher Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Fast Tab Switcher requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
