Description

Indecisive about what to watch/buy/do? Open them in different tabs and let this extension pick a random one (or more) for you.

How to use the extension

The extension shows a list of tabs that are currently open on your browser window. You can unselect tabs from the list by clicking on them*. Unselected tabs will not be a part of the random selection.

If you want the extension to pick only one tab, press the "Pick One" button and the extension will select a random tab and automatically switch to the tab it has selected**.

If you would like the extension to pick multiple tabs, press the "Pick Multiple" button and there will be a pop up on your screen asking how many tabs you would like the extension to pick. Enter the desired number of tabs to be picked and press the "OK" button. The extension will pick random tabs, create a tab group named "SELECTED" which contains the randomly picked tabs, and automatically switch to one of the tabs it picked. You can see the rest of the picked tabs within the tab group.

Notes:
* Tabs you unselect from the extension list will remain open on your browser
** If the active tab remains the same after you press the button, it means the tab you were on was picked.

Reviews

Really useful for my indecision. Only suggestion is putting the pick one/pick multiple buttons at the top for those of us who have a truly unholy amount of tabs.

I use this extension when I can't decide what movie to watch. I open bunch of movie options on new tabs, and randomly pick one. Also started playing around with the select multiple tabs feature. If I have 10 movies to choose from, I reduce that number to 2 to 3 random ones, then I decide. It saves me the headache of trying to decide for ages.
