Chrome gets a Firefox Panorama (formerly Tab Candy) extension

, ,
I’m trying out the new Firefox 4 beta 5 today which has an interesting way to manage tabs (actually, I think this feature was in the previous beta too). I am still not sure whether being able to manipulate so many tabs to easily is a big productivity win (I try keep my open tabs to a minimum, lest I completely ruin what passes for my productivity) but the feature is a very cool one nevertheless. If you haven’t seen Panorama in action before, here it is (it used to be called Tab Candy):

Anyway, I noticed that there is a Chrome version now too called Tab Sugar so if you are a Chrome user who has a tendency to load up with tabs, it is worth checking this out. It looks practically identical to the Firefox version.

    I keep switching between Chrome and Firefox and have generally stuck with Firefox 3.6.x for the time being. I thought I’d spend a bit more time with Firefox 4 beta 5 today and it is really fast although still has the biggles you would expect from a beta product.
