Switch tabs with mouse wheel.

What is Tab Switcher with Wheel?
Tab Switcher with Wheel is a Chrome extension designed to simplify your web browsing process. Instead of selecting a tab using the mouse cursor, this tool allows you to navigate through your tabs by using the right-click and your mouse wheel. Depending on your settings, the tab switching directions left or right can be adjusted. The extension also offers an 'infinite switching' option, which lets the switching process continue even after reaching the last tab. Note that the extension is not compatible with certain pages like chrome options/extension tabs and pages starting with file://. Also, sites with embedded iFrame may affect its functionality.

I got tired of selecting a tab using the mouse cursor. So I created this extension.

You can switch tabs using the right-click and mouse wheel. Just scroll the mouse wheel while pressing right-click.

Directions (left/right) can be changed depending on the setting. By turning "Infinite switching" option on, tab switching does not stop at the last tab. To open the settings popup, please pin this extension and click the icon.

-Notice This extension does not work on chrome options/extension tabs and pages starting with file://. And If the web page has iFrame on it, this extension may not work properly.

-Change Log v0.5.2 fixed minor bugs.
