Tab Badges: Easily Navigate Tabs with Number Badges

Tab Badges is a Chrome extension that adds number badges to tabs' title, making it easy to navigate and identify tabs using keyboard shortcuts. Simply press CTRL-ALT on Windows or CMD-# on Mac to navigate to a specific tab quickly. You can enable and disable the badges with a simple click, and the badges will only be displayed on tabs with loaded web pages. If you want to keep tabs persistent or use a temporary badge state, the extension has options for that too. It's a handy tool for anyone who works with multiple open tabs in their browser.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Tabs a great resource that let you have all your pages consolidated into one window. However, tabs get tedious to navigate when there are a lot open. This extension will add number badges to the tabs' title as such: " {#} - original_title ". The purpose of the number badges is to easily identify the index of the tab you would like to navigate to by using keyboard shortcuts, such as CMD-# on MAC and CTRL-# on WINDOWS.

To use this extension:

Download the extension.
Open a couple of tabs and navigate to web pages.
Click on the badge icon next to the address bar to enable tab badges.
Press CTRL-ALT while on any of the tabs to toggle state of badges on all tabs.
Click on the badge icon next to the address bar to disable tab badges if you want to disable CTRL-ALT to toggle badge state. Tab badge states can be toggled. If you press CTRL-ALT while the badges are not visible, they will be displayed. If the badges are visible, they will be hidden.

Note: This extension only works on tabs that have a web page loaded (so if you create a new tab but do not navigate to a website, CTRL-ALT will not show badges on that page). Also make sure to close the open tabs before downloading the extension to have badges show up on them :)

Does not work.

Does not work on pinned tabs. Also, as already stated ctrl/alt does not work. A good start. Wouls like to see red circles (like most other badges) that appear in open tabs and pinned tabs. Keep up the good work and I'll update my rating.

It would be awesome if the extension keeps the state when I close and open Chrome. Now, if I close Chrome then open it, I have to click in extension badge until the black color appears (CTRL + ALT doesn't work properly). Keep the good working! Cheers
