Tab.Show | Full-Page Tab Previews

Full-page tab previews on hover, right from a side panel - so you can manage dozens of tabs without losing focus.

‼️‼️ Quick start: press Shift + Cmd + X on Mac or Shift + Ctrl + X on Windows to toggle the Tab.Show side panel. Customize the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Tab.Show is a lightweight tab manager that helps you stay in flow. Open a side panel, hover any tab to preview the full page in your main window, then move the mouse away to return to where you were. Click only when you want to switch. This reduces context switching and makes tab navigation fast and calm. 💡 How it works 📌 Open the Tab.Show side panel with a keyboard shortcut or button. 📌 Hover a tab in the list to preview the full page instantly. 📌 Move the mouse away to snap back, or click to switch and continue. 💡 Why it helps Modern browsers make it easy to open many tabs but hard to manage them. Full-page previews let you confirm content first so you switch only when it is worth it. Less guessing, fewer clicks, more focus. 💡 Key features 📌 Hover-to-preview full pages without switching tabs 📌 Side panel for fast scanning and navigation 📌 Snap back on mouse leave, click to commit the switch 📌 Simple, intuitive design for focus and speed 💡 Designed for 📌 People who work with dozens of tabs 📌 Developers, researchers, writers, students 📌 Anyone who wants less friction and more flow 💡 What Tab.Show is not 🚫 Not a memory saver or tab suspender 🚫 Not a full bookmark manager or reading list replacement ✅ It complements your browser and existing tools ---UPDATES--- --0.9.1-- -- Updated extension icon for better visibility and clarity. -- Updated Chrome Web Store listing page. --0.9.0-- -- 💣💣 Settings Panel: Added a settings panel where you can switch between different color themes.
