Added

  • The switcher: Alt+S opens it on the next tab and Alt+Shift+S on the previous one (Control+S and Control+Shift+S on
    a Mac), the toolbar icon opens it too. It shows the tabs most recently used first, centered over the page; releasing
    the key held opens the selected tab.
  • The list view, with Compact rows as an option, and the grid view, which fits the screen by itself: a preview of each
    tab, kept in memory only, or only each site's icon.
  • The switcher's toolbar: the search field in the middle, buttons for the view, its options, the website address, the
    last used time and the settings. It can be turned off (Show toolbar).
  • Auto-select, Stay open until you choose a tab, and tabs from all windows.
  • Tabs shown before scrolling in the list: 6, 10 (the default), 15, or as many as fit the screen.
  • Open the switcher in a window on Chrome's pages (Microsoft Edge's pages in Edge), on by default: where the browser keeps extensions
    out (its own pages, its web store), or a page keeps scripts out of its frames, the switcher opens in a small window
    of its own, in the middle of the current window.
  • Sites never see your tabs: over a page, the switcher is drawn in the extension's own page, which the site can't
    read nor search for a tab's title.
  • Works in Chrome and in Microsoft Edge: the settings name the browser they run in and open its shortcuts page.
  • While the switcher is open, its tabs show their titles and addresses as they change, and the tabs closed, opened or
    moved to another window elsewhere leave or join the list, the selection staying on its tab.
  • Close a tab from the switcher with its close button or with the mouse's middle button. Closing the tab you are on
    keeps the switcher open, in the tab the browser shows instead.
  • Tab details: pinned, playing audio and inactive tab icons, tab group color, last used, and the website address,
    the page's whole address or only its site, scrolling on the selected tab and on the one under the mouse when it is
    long.
  • The settings page, in the device's, light or dark theme. Restore default settings asks you to confirm it.
  • Keyboard shortcuts in the settings, the toolbar icon's too, with a warning when one has no keys. Installed while
    another extension uses its keys, Better Tab Switcher opens its settings to let you choose others.
  • The switcher shows over any page, also on sites that say they support dark mode and on sites that isolate
    themselves, like WhatsApp Web; it closes when you go to another window or another program.
