TabGlance: Hover Tab Preview

Get instant full-page previews by hovering over tabs in the side panel. Find, switch, and organize without losing focus.

‼️‼️ Quick start: press Shift + Cmd + X on Mac or Shift + Ctrl + X on Windows to toggle the TabGlance side panel. Customize the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. TabGlance 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 TabGlance 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 TabGlance 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--- --0.8.0-- -- Tab Groups Redesigned: Tab groups now look and work exactly like they do in your browser's tab bar, with proper nesting, colors, and expand/collapse functionality (Thanks Paulius 🙏). -- Enhanced User Interface: Tab items now show a pointer cursor when you hover over them, making it clearer that they're clickable (Thanks Dmitry 🙏). -- Smoother Hover Experience: Fixed issues with rapid hovering that could cause tabs to switch unexpectedly, making the preview feature more reliable. --0.7.1-- -- Renamed extension from Narsheek to TabGlance - a more catchy name that clearly communicates the core functionality. -- Drastically improved tab list performance - now works smoothly even with 200+ tabs open. --0.7.0-- -- Smarter Previews: TabGlance now intelligently distinguishes between hover-previews and manual tab switches, making the original tab logic more robust and reliable. -- Significant performance upgrades to make tab loading and list rendering even faster. -- Added a "What's New" page to keep you informed about the latest updates after every release. -- A new Welcome Page for first-time users to help them get started with the core features and shortcuts. --0.6.0-- -- Close Tabs Directly: You can now close tabs directly from the side panel list, streamlining your workflow. -- Default Keyboard Shortcut: The side panel can now be toggled with Command+Shift+X (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+X (Windows). -- Tab Group Display: Your existing tab groups are now visually represented in the side panel for better organization. -- Resolved several minor bugs related to edge cases in tab management. --0.5.0-- -- Initial Release: Welcome to TabGlance!
