Overview

FOS Tab-Switcher is a simple, free, and open-source extension that automatically cycles through tabs.

Key Features: - Automated Tab Switching: FOS Tab-Switcher automatically switches to the next open tab in your Chrome browser based on a time interval specified by you. This functionality allows users to effortlessly toggle between tabs, ensuring they do not miss updates or changes in multiple webpages they are monitoring. - User-Defined Interval: Users can define the time interval in seconds for how often the tabs should cycle, allowing full control over how frequently tabs switch. - Optional Tab Reload on Switch: Users can enable an option that automatically reloads a tab when it becomes active during the switching cycle, ensuring that the displayed content is always up to date when the tab is shown. - Ease of Use: Simple and intuitive user interface to start and stop tab cycling, making it accessible for all users. - Lightweight and Efficient: Adds functionality to your browser without consuming significant resources. Why Use FOS Tab-Switcher? - Boost Productivity: Keep an eye on multiple tabs without manually switching, perfect for monitoring dashboards, social media feeds, or ongoing processes. - Prevent Tab Idleness: Useful for keeping tabs active during automated tasks or while using web-based tools. - Open Source: The source code is freely available, guaranteeing transparency and security. How to Use: 1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. 2. Click on the FOS Tab-Switcher icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the settings popup. 3. Enter your desired interval time in seconds. 4. Enable or disable auto reload on tab switch. 4. Toggle the active switch to enable tab cycling. Privacy and Security: FOS Tab-Switcher uses only the minimum Chrome permissions required for its functionality and does not collect, track, or transmit any usage data or personal information.
