Tab Counter Plus is a powerful Firefox extension that displays the number of tabs in each window or across all windows, allowing efficient tab management. It offers two display modes—a SVG text icon or WebExtension badge—with fully customizable colors and titles to suit personal preferences.

Unlike other tab counters that continuously query tabs and impact performance, Tab Counter Plus smartly stores tab counts and updates them only on necessary events. It handles multiple windows side-by-side, uses intelligent debouncing to optimize performance during rapid tab changes, and ensures near-instant updates without delays, especially when closing tabs. Built with fast vanilla JavaScript and free of bulky libraries, it provides a lightweight solution. This extension also pioneers a WebExtension feature that boosts robustness and efficiency, making it ideal for users seeking a fast, reliable, and customizable tab counter in Firefox.

User reviews

Tab Counter Plus is praised for its accurate and lightweight tab counting, especially beneficial for users managing many tabs simultaneously. It performs reliably and fulfills its purpose without extra features. However, users commonly note the font size is small and lacks customization, and the add-on does not adapt well to dark mode due to color issues. Some users also encounter problems with the add-on icon not appearing. Despite these issues, it remains a dependable and effective tool for tab management.

Pros

Accurately counts and displays the number of open tabs.
Lightweight and fast, not resource-intensive.
Highly useful for users with many tabs open (100+ tabs).
Simple and does what it promises without unnecessary features.
Long-term users satisfied with its functionality and reliability.

Cons

Font size is small and not customizable.
No color adjustment for dark mode, making visibility poor under dark themes.
Addon icon sometimes does not appear or is hard to find.
