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 WhaTab

# Overview * This extension is a helper tool for Cmd+number (macOS) / Alt+number (Windows/Linux) tab-switching shortcuts. # How it works * While you hold the Cmd key (macOS) or the Alt key (Windows/Linux), each tab in the current window temporarily displays a numeric prefix such as [1]. * When you release the key, the tab titles instantly return to normal. * This makes keyboard-based tab switching faster and more intuitive. # Key Points * Numbers are shown only while the key is being held down * It works like a live guide—nothing is permanently added to the tab titles * Leaves no visual changes once the key is released # Limitations / Important Notes ## Some tabs cannot receive numbers, including: * Chrome internal pages (e.g., chrome://extensions/) * Pinned tabs ## Certain special or restricted pages * Right after installation, the prefix may not appear on the very first Cmd/Alt press until Chrome fully activates the extension. * Tab numbering may also be skipped if Chrome temporarily restricts access to the tab title for security or technical reasons.
