Extension summary

Tab Slideshow allows you to cycle through open tabs in a particular browser window as though each tab were a slide in a slideshow or presentation.

The functionality is simple: press the Tab Slideshow icon in your extension tray, input the interval length (the amount of time to spend on each tab) and press 'Begin'. Tabs will then change automatically after the specified interval of time is up.

The slideshow stops when a new tab/window is created, an existing tab is closed or you press the 'Stop' button from within the popup window.

If you find this extension useful, but wanted the ability to add a refresh interval, try out Tab Slideshow Plus (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/iaehgcjemgeldahhdeafbdeglfbaecll)! It's basically the same extension with the only difference being the refresh interval parameter, but I didn't want to introduce any bugs in this version.

This extension does exactly what I want it to do. I looked at other options, and they are not configurable or they are just plain buggy. This one is simple and meets all of our needs.

This software works. Sometimes. If you're lucky. For a little while. Possibly the simplest plugin imaginable, yet the most buggy software I've ever paid for. I should get a refund times ten for all the pain and suffering. To make matters worse, there's a free, and a pay version. And it can be confusing as to whether they're the same creator and or software. You'll get the same results with either. Don't both paying for it.
