Extension summary

Sometimes one ends up with a lot of tabs, each of which has some unfinished task associated with it -- which is why the tab hasn't been closed.

This extension lets one annotate tabs with extra information. This information can be associated with the particular tab (by unticking the "persist" option), or just the page URL. This is useful both for remembering why you had a tab open, and for recovering from crashes.

The extension will have a yellow icon on tabs with annotations.

One can also view a list of all the annotations, and go to the relevant tab directly from there.

Special thanks to @TildalWave for the icon!

User reviews

Awesome extension! It helps me keep track of all of my Workplace Stack Exchange stuff in the chat room I hang out in on that site. I can keep track of other stuff in other parts of the network. This extension makes it easier to stay organized by keeping relevant information where it belongs instead of in one big glob. Nice work!

Just what I needed thanks. :) Just something else but could you make sure that when I add a note on a tab and I got to "show annotations" that they are listed in order.
