Summary
Make reviewing flashcards lighter and easier by integrating them on your browsing habits.
No more dreaded hour-long Anki sessions! AnkiTab gives you a selection of flashcards each time a new tab is opened, allowing you to mix in tiny chunks of card reviewing through the day, which leads to a more lightweight and productive learning.
Featuring built-in deck interleaving, which has been scientifically proved to improve the learning process [1][2][3][4].
The extension is totally open source and all the code is licensed under The Unlicense, which is extremely permissive. The code repository can be found at https://github.com/corollari/ankiTab.
