VerticalTabs is a Chrome extension for idiots like myself who insist on having 39483948 tabs open at the same time. It allows you to browse them using a vertical menu so you can read the titles.
Show me what's wrong tries to make life easier for anyone who’s stuck providing tech support to friends and family. Looks handy!
