Show HN: I am building a Safari Web Extension to switch tabs efficiently
I like the tab-switching behaviour in Chrome/Firefox and wanted Safari to have something similar. Another wish of mine was for it to be a web extension that feels native to the browser vs an app extension that looks out of place.<p>After waiting long enough, I decided to build one myself. A little preview of Tap Tab - <a href="https://taptab.manibatra.xyz" rel="nofollow">https://taptab.manibatra.xyz</a>. The web extension APIs for managing tabs are pretty locked down in Safari, but I have already found a lot of value in using the extension. Some of the features that I find very useful(in the middle of building a few of these) :<p>- Driven by keyboard shortcuts. I can see the tabs I have open at a glance and switch between them.<p>- Fuzzy search to quickly filter down to the tab you want.<p>- Quick switching between two tabs.<p>- Ability to pin, mute, and close the tab right from the extension.<p>Say hello, and tell me what features you would like the extension to have!!
