I've been obsessed with developing ways to make it easier to handle tab overload in the browser without requiring any sort of active "tab management". I have a working extension that replaces the "new tab" page with a clean view of all open tabs, along with simple ways to search and select which tab to switch to, including search over bookmarks and history. There are also some simple tools to allow for creating and reorganizing tab groups. I'm very early and looking for feedback from anyone who suffers from tab overwhelm like I do! You can try it out at http://bit.ly/tab-o-magic http://bit.ly/tab-o-magic!

This is crazy and very useful for organising the tabs. You need to do some work on the ui/ux part.

this looks really good, and super useful any plans on making it available for ff?

  Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm testing interest on chrome, and, if it finds traction, I will definitely port it to be browser-agnostic. It _should_ be pretty straightforward.

Thank you! Just used this to clear away a load of tabs. Some gripes: I wish I could just use it standalone without it replacing the "new tab" page. I wish I could view the full title of a tab, maybe on hover. I only want to use it to manage tabs, not history or bookmarks, so I wish I didn't have to grant those permissions.

  All great feedback, thank you! Adding the ability to view the full title is an easy fix, I'll include that in the next push. The history and bookmarks point is a good one. It's possible to specify those as optional permissions for the extension, so users could decide whether or not to enable them. One idea that motivates the project is that it's easier to close tabs when you know you can always get back to them quickly, so history and bookmark search are necessary to enable that mindset. I'll ruminate on this one a little more. The idea of using it without replacing the "new tab" page had never occurred to me. Let me think about that one, too. Thanks again!!
