About Tab Wheel Scroll

This plugin lets you navigate between browser tabs using your mouse wheel. How to use: ----------- Way 1 : Hold "Alt" and "scroll up/down" to switch tabs Way 2 : Hold the "right mouse button" and "scroll up/down" to switch tabs Notes: - Your cursor must be positioned over the web page content (not over the tab bar itself). - ✓ Also supports horizontal scroll wheels (e.g., Logitech MX Master 3). Where it does not work ----------------------- For security reasons, browsers restrict extensions on certain pages. The scroll will skip: - Internal pages (e.g., chrome:// pages, settings, ...) - Chrome Web Store pages (where you are currently :)) - Search results (e.g., Google Search) unless you have explicitly allowed the extension to access these pages in your browser settings. On these pages, the tab is simply skipped. Contact: -------- Since there are no notifications for comments, please contact me via email or GitHub if you have a specific request or issue. Open Source: ------------ GitHub: https://github.com/johndodev/TabWheelScroll
