Description

View and search through open tabs and browser history.

TabStacks is a vertical tab menu that helps you find the content you were looking for. Filter the tabs you have open and TabStacks will list the open tabs that match. If TabStacks can't find an open tab, it searches through your history to see if you had a tab open previously!

TabStacks is designed to be keyboard and screen reader accessible. Press [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[K] to open the menu, start typing to filter your tabs, and use the [DOWN] arrow key to navigate to the tab you want, and [ENTER] to open that tab. You can always use your mouse as well.

You can search through your history during a tab search by pressing [CTRL+SHIFT+S]. You can close a tab by highlighting it in the list using the arrow keys or right-click and pressing [DELETE] or by clicking the close button on the tab.

TabStacks is a high performance and secure extension for Chrome. TabStacks doesn't download external files, doesn't store any information about your activity.

TabStacks is such an amazing tool. Looking for a tab I had once opened in the history page has always been frustrating, but TabStack helps sort my previously opened tabs. Great plugin.
