The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Tmuxium
If you live in tmux, your hands already know this. Press Ctrl-A, then a letter.
Ctrl-A then Ctrl-O opens a searchable list of every tab in every window, grouped
by window. Type to filter, Ctrl-J and Ctrl-K to move, Enter to switch, Ctrl-X to
close a tab without leaving the list. Ctrl-A then 1-9 jumps by position, b
toggles back to the last tab you were on, and m jumps straight to whichever tab
is a live video call.
There is a vim mode too, for moving around inside a page: h j k l to scroll, gg
and G for the ends, f to label every link and type its label to follow it, /
to find. It stands aside the moment a text box has focus, so typing in a search
field never scrolls the page.

Ctrl-O, o, w the tab tree, searchable across every window

THE ONE ANNOYING TRADE
The prefix is taken on every page it runs on, inside text boxes too. On macOS
the default is Ctrl-A, so you lose "jump to the start of the line". Press the
prefix twice to get it back, exactly like send-prefix in tmux.
On Windows and Linux the default is Alt-A instead, because Ctrl-A is select-all
there. Either way the prefix is rebindable in settings, and you can switch the
extension off entirely on any site. Documents, spreadsheets and mail are on that
list already, since their own editing keys matter more. Open settings to see the
full list or change it.
PRIVACY
It makes no network requests. There is no server, no analytics, no telemetry, no
account. It reads your tab titles and URLs because that is what a tab switcher
does, and they never leave your browser. Nothing is collected and nothing is
transmitted.
The tab list deliberately shows a colour derived from each hostname instead of
the site's real favicon, because loading favicons would put one request per open
tab into the page you are currently on, letting that page work out what you have
open.
WHAT IT CANNOT DO
Chrome forbids every extension from running on chrome:// pages, the Web Store
and the PDF viewer, so the keys are dead there and no extension can change that.
Keys typed in the address bar belong to Chrome, not to the page.
Link hints skip anything inside an iframe. There are no counts like 3j and no
marks yet.

WHAT'S NEW
0.4.0: every key after the prefix can be rebound in settings, under Keys. The help overlay, the tab tree footer and the toolbar popup name the keys you actually have. The content script no longer writes to the console of every page it loads in.
