Find and navigate to an opened tab
Do you have too many opened tabs in your browser?
Do you have too many windows opened in your browser?
Tab Finder - by floverdevel is your friend.
It displays the list of currently opened tabs, even those in others windows, even those in Incognito Mode if you allow the extension to run in Incognito Mode (look for the «Allow in incognito» checkbox in your browser's extensions list «chrome://extensions/»).
It filters the list by searching by tab's title and/or tab's URL.
It navigates to the selected tab (select a tab by clicking on it or using the arrows keys then the Enter key), and brings its containing window to the foreground.
It can create a new tab in current window (or in a new window using the shift key).
If your search looks like a valid URL, the new tab will navigate to this URL, otherwise the new tab will trigger a Google search.
Don't forget to rate and leave me a comment if you like and/or hate this extension.

Latest reviews
- (2022-11-15) Anthony Alvarado: bad
- (2022-08-16) Bryce Nesbitt: Fantastic. Lightweight, helps find an already open tab, avoiding that downward spiral into runaway tab growth.
- (2021-05-01) K H: It works like a charm! I added a hotkey for it in Manage Extensions (Ctrl Shift f) so I don't even need to pin it, just call it up with the hotkey and search for what I need. It indexed all the tabs in my multiple open windows within seconds of installing it, and I was able to find a particular tab I needed immediately.
- (2020-11-16) Abdulrazzak Fallaha: I think people need to be aware that this app exists! it's really helpful. It doesn't just show you where the app that you're looking for is, but it also helps you find that annoying hidden tab that's playing something in the background and close it.
- (2019-12-12) Ilya Volvovski: This is a great tool, saves me from going crazy searching for tabs I need. I am not afraid anymore to go from one workspace to another. Thanks a lot! My suggestions: ability to save the tab state such that you could restore let's say after reboot or when you have too many tabs opened and would like to go back to a sane state. Even better to have several named instances.
- (2019-11-18) Mark Almquist: An extremely useful extension delivered in a simple-to-use package! Many thanks!
- (2019-01-08) Johny Why: Works. Love how tiny. But would be better if could limit to current window vs all windows. Also would be better if it opened a bit faster. Thx!
- (2018-12-02) Winter Silence: Very nice plugin. My only one concern is, the default extension icon looks not so nice with dark chrome themes.
- (2018-11-12) Thomas Fortier: Super simple avec les shortcuts! Merci!
- (2018-05-02) Fernando Margueirat: With 100+ tabs opened, I always have a hard time finding the one I want to check. This extension does exactly that and works flawlessly.
- (2018-02-04) Timothy David GILL: Wonderful, and your comments in Support tab made me aware of the Chrome mechanism to add my own chosen keyboard shortcut to extension. Many thanks.
- (2017-12-21) Bayview BOOM: One of the top extensions ever. Fantastic features AND lightweight.
- (2017-04-27) Muneeb Master: Works great! Needed a restart of Chrome before the search bar showed up though. Initially I thought it wasn't working at all and gave it a 1 star review but it started working after Chrome restart.
- (2017-02-16) Tristan Michael: I *want* to love this extension. It DOES allow me to find tabs across multiple windows - it just won't let me click on a tab to activate it. (Some of them work. Most don't.)
- (2016-09-23) Chris Fleeman: This is exactly what I've been looking for! One one machine, I have over 650 open tabs (mostly because I lose track of what I have open), so I'm hoping this will help me whittle those down significantly.
- (2016-05-16) Tony Contreras: Perfect! thank you
- (2016-01-26) Jean-Francois Tellier: Very good addon, easy to use!
