Effortless tab management for Chrome

Tabio

Note: I'm currently working on a major update to Tabio. Development on version 2 is being done in the tabio-2 repo. Stay up to date by following me on Twitter @colebemis.

Effortless tab management for Chrome

Tabio is a Chrome extension designed to make managing lots of browser tabs significantly easier. The extension generates a searchable, scrollable and fully keyboard-accessible list of all open browser tabs.

Available on the Google Chrome Webstore.
