Re: Feeling lost without tabs

[swe20144]

It's been almost 1.5 years, After trying various alternatives like tabbar mode,
I've finally gotten used to C-x b
Surprisingly, I like it.  Now I'm trying to bring this to the other application 
I spend a lot of time on: my web browser.

I usually have about 20 web browser tabs open at any given time, and using the 
mouse
to go to a specific tab just breaks my flow. I'm sure it's the same for other 
people.
How do you guys overcome this? Is there a chrome extension I haven't learnt 
about
yet?

I found two extensions Emacsome and ChromEmacs, with the first one attempting 
to do what I want (but not going all the way)

If there's none out there, I guess I will just be hacking/forking Emacsome to 
add the features I like
to see.
Basically
   C-x b   to switch buffers with helm/ido like autocompletion
               Inside it, C-n and C-p to browse the suggestions

Is the author of Emacsome in here by any chance?
(the repo hasn't been updated since 2012)
