Tab Ahead
Tab Ahead lets you type ahead to quickly find open tabs by title and URL.
This extension helps you to quickly navigate through (the mess of) your currently open tabs by typing parts of their respective page titles or URLs using a fuzzy search (approximate string matching) algorithm.
Aspiring to bring Sublime Text's »Goto Anything...« to your Chrome Tabs.
Keyboard Shortcut:
Alt+T
Options:
You can choose to search through the current window or through all windows. The default setting is searching through the current window.
Privacy:
We do not find you to be all that interesting. Your questionable browsing history should remain between you and the NSA. Tab Ahead functions without any outbound communication. Period.
Keyboard/Hacker-friendly:
You can leave your mice at home.
Lightweight:
No background processes.
Sponsor/Support:

Latest reviews
Love the dark default mode, the only thing missing is an option to show the full list (or abbreviated list) of open tabs under the search field similar to the default (non-remappable) ctrl-shift-a chrome function. With this addition I would easily switch to this extension from "Quick Tabs", which lacks an easy dark mode.
Can't find my tabs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is it work in current window only?
简洁高效，不可或缺，感谢感谢。

Ditto to all the other reviews. Indispensible, and how I wish there were a Tab Ahead for Safari and Firefox. Why has no-one else come up with this genius sooner?

This is amazing, it is well thought out, easy to use, and innovative. I love it.
Замечательное приложение! Позволяет быстро найти нужную вкладку, и работает очень удобным способом!
Just great! This extension is still helpful with its fuzzy search even in presence of Google Chrome address bar "Switch to tab" feature.

Great job! Fast and usefull extension. The only feature I dream about is - if no tabs found and "enter" is pressed then open new tab with search engine and entered text as search query.

Honestly, I've been looking for something like this for a while. Great job. If you improved the search functionality, I'd give you five stars. It matches other stuff to easily. If I type reddit and I have another tab open that contains the keyword red in it, it will still match.

Awesome! I mean, today I had 171 tabs open around 8 different Win10 virtual desktops, and this is what helps me keep my sanity! :D And the fuzzy search just makes it so convenient after getting used to sublime and atom!

Exactly what I was looking for! I updated the shortcut to be Cmd+Shift+Spacebar to almost mirror the the Cmd+Spacebar that opens Spotlight on the mac. Very pleased.

Awesome! It would be nice to add an option to change the keybinding, though.

A helpful time saver. Useful for when I have more than far too many documentation pages up, and need to find one in a hurry.

Seems to work fine, but a bit sluggish to open the input text field and allow you to start typing in. If that would be improved, the plugin would deserve 5 stars.

Seems to be some problems with the keyboard context, after switching I can't use ctrl+tab.
