Extension Usage Instructions

                        This extension helps you to quickly navigate through (the mess of) your currently open tabs by typing parts of their respective page titles or URLs using a fuzzy search (approximate string matching) algorithm.

Aspiring to bring Sublime Text's »Goto Anything...« to your Chrome Tabs.
