Show HN: My first Chrome extension (TabZolo.co)

9 points

13 years ago

I had an idea to build a Chrome extension to help stay on track with browsing the internet in today's multi-tab-able browsers. I wanted a solution that would encourage (ie, force) me to finish my business on a single given tab before going on to doing something else in another. TabZolo is the result of my dabbling with a buddy.

Using the chrome.* APIs, when enabled, the extension forces you to use one tab and window (except incognito windows - but I probably shouldn't have told you that) and kills any new tabs/windows that get created instead replacing the current tab with the new URL.

You can check it out at www.tabzolo.co. It's completely open-sourced on GitHub too if anyone wants to extend its functionality.

What do you think of it?
