Taban - Quick Tab Switcher

Middle-click anywhere or press Ctrl+Space to open a tab switcher near your cursor. Links still open in a new tab as usual.

Taban lets you instantly switch between open tabs without reaching for the tab bar.

How it works

• Middle-click anywhere on a page to open a tab switcher popup right at your cursor
• Or press Ctrl+Space to open it centered on screen
• Type to search/filter tabs by title or URL
• Use arrow keys + Enter to navigate, or just click
• Close tabs directly from the list with the ✕ button
• Press Escape or click outside to dismiss

Middle-click on links still works normally — clicking a link with the middle button opens it in a new tab as expected. Taban only activates when you middle-click on empty space.

Minimal & fast — no background activity, no data collection, no analytics. Taban only runs when you trigger it.

Permissions explained

• tabs — to list and switch between your open tabs
• favicon — to show tab icons in the switcher
• Host permissions — the content script needs to run on all pages to detect your middle-click
