Search, navigate, and organize your browsing history faster than ever. This lightweight Safari extension enhances productivity with quick tab switching and search. Navigate in the history of open tabs with Option+Tab in the same way you navigate between your apps.
The app is fully functional. The only difference is that it shows up to 5 tabs.
Features:
- Gorgeous tabs list panel with website icons;
- Switching tab history navigation with Option+Tab (or set your own shortcut);
- Tab search;
- Tab closing;
- Open new tab from history;
- Customizable shortcut;
- Ability to set a color tint in;
- Ability to sort tabs other than by last seen;
- Ability to configure columns order;
- Ability to keep the tabs list panel open when you release your shortcut keys;
- Dark mode, light mode;
- Does not ask for permission to read "webpage content". Permission to access "browsing history" is only used to display tab titles;
- 100% native macOS app. Not a single line of JS code;
- Works even when tabs are loading and on empty and history pages;
- Does not dim Safari when tabs list panel is open;
- Almost native experience;

Getting Started:
Watch this video on how to set it up: https://youtu.be/BxfLPtfK3zQ
or follow these steps:
1. Open the app
2. Open Safari Extensions, enable Tab Finder Lite extension and press the "Always allow on every website" button
Keep in mind:
- The extension does not work with profiles yet;
- The extension looses tab switching history when switching between tab groups;
- After restarting your Mac, please open the app again to start using it;
- Extension can only search for tabs in a last focused window. It does not search across multiple windows. Each window has its own tab navigation history. This can change in the future.
- The Tab Finder Lite icon has to always stay in the Safari Toolbar for the extension to work

This plugin has slightly similar feature to chrome tab switcher which chrome users usually invoke with Command+Shift+A.
