Full summary

This extension helps you to quickly navigate through (the mess of) your currently open tabs by typing parts of their respective page titles or URLs using a fuzzy search (approximate string matching) algorithm.

Aspiring to bring Sublime Text's »Goto Anything...« to your Chrome Tabs.

Keyboard Shortcut: Alt+T

Options: You can choose to search through the current window or through all windows. The default setting is searching through the current window.

Privacy: We do not find you to be all that interesting. Your questionable browsing history should remain between you and the NSA. Tab Ahead functions without any outbound communication. Period.

Keyboard/Hacker-friendly: You can leave your mice at home.
