About Next Tab
Next Tab turns text selection into action. Select text on any page, right-click, and open any URL with that text injected — search engines, log viewers, API tools, admin panels, dashboards, or anything with a URL.
**Why Next Tab?**
Tired of extensions that paywall basic features or add bloat you don't need? Next Tab does one thing well: custom right-click links. It's free and always will be.
**Features:**
- Add any URL with %s as the selected text placeholder — not just search engines
- Organise links into groups (submenus like QA, Prod, Dev)
- Define global variables ({{QA_HOST}}, {{PROD_HOST}}) to reuse across URLs — change once, update everywhere
- Enable/disable individual links without deleting them
- Drag to reorder your context menu
- Clone links and variables for quick duplication
- Export/import your full config as JSON — share with teammates via Slack, email, or a GitHub gist
- Import configs from other context menu search extensions
- Syncs across your Chrome instances automatically
- Respects your system dark mode
**Built for developers and power users:**
Select an error ID, right-click, open it in your log viewer. Select a user ID, jump to the admin panel. Select a trace ID, open it in your dashboards. Define variables like QA_HOST and PROD_HOST to switch environments without editing every URL. Share the JSON config with your team — they just swap the variable values.
**Privacy:**
Next Tab stores your config in Chrome's built-in sync storage. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your data stays yours.
# Changelog
## 1.0.1
- Import JSON now auto-detects Context Menu Search format — no need to use the separate CMS import button. A message confirms the conversion and how many items were found.
- URLs with multiple %s placeholders now replace all of them with the selected text, not just the first.
