very decent !! works as expected. one thing i would love to be added as an option - color/mark visited tabs that are 2nd last and 3rd last, upto last 5 tabs with different shades colors(bright to light , bright being the immediately visited last tab) or numbers to them so that its visible/identifiable in my sea of tabs. thanks
