Tab thumbnails Ext is a Great concept, and works pretty good. Hope Google does not take this one away, like other useful ones, that no longer work. This great ext Would be so much greater, if had the very useful option to quickly search thru all of our open tabs, not just the last few tabs visited, so we can quickly jump to an older, specific tab, this hot addtl option would be super great. Still a great extension. Rated 3.9 Stars. Cheers.

I don't usually comment on extension page, but this is exactly what I was in need for. Many popular browsers are lazy to implement a basic tab cycling feature
