TabsPane

Tabs Pain relief. Expose like functionality for Chrome

What is TabsPane?

TabsPane is a robust Chrome extension designed to simplify the process of managing tabs. With features mimicking the Exposé function, it provides you with a visual representation of all your tabs. This feature not only makes it easier to keep track of all your open tabs but also offers an efficient way to search, rearrange, or perform multiple operations on tabs. Version 0.2 offers support for multiple windows and the ability to perform operations on several tabs simultaneously. Version 0.1 allows you to take screenshots of tabs and comes with auto-search functionality that sifts through historical data.

User reviews

The thumbnails view doesn't work anymore. This is the main feature of this extension. I hope the developer fixes this at some point. I find a thumbnail preview useful. Why isn't this a standard feature of Chrome? Why aren't there tab managers that offer this?

Unfortunately, the thumbnail previews don't load. The extension seems to work otherwise, but since the thumbnail feature is the main thing differentiating this from the hordes of other tab managers for Chrome, I'd say pass on this one.

Works great! I would like an option to navigate tabs with the keyboard rather than using search or clicking. And it would be nice to have a quick shortcut to switch to the previous tab used.
