When you manage many tabs, Firefox has a great feature to avoid opening the same page again, if it's already opened in some other tab: as you type a URL (or title page), Firefox shows in its Awesomebar that the page is already opened in another tab, and you can instead go to that tab.
How can Chrome do that, search among its opened tabs? I've seen questions about searching in the history and there are extensions for searching among bookmarks, but those that can search among already opened tabs leave a lot to be desired:
- Search Plus can only search among tabs in the current window, is abandoned, and isn't open source
Excellent! It's open source and does the job.

I think what we really want, is that instead of typing in "gmail.com" in the address bar for the thousandth time today, it will show up as I'm typing in the address bar, and I can key down and hit enter to go to the existing tab. – nh43de – 2018-07-04T15:15:10.960
Firefox shows active tabs in suggestions. I'm fairly confident Chrome does that too. The main hurdle here is that the list of suggestions is constantly jumping as you type and even then the tab suggestion is after mistyping suggestions (so 4-6th in the list). – zamber – 2018-07-04T21:37:20.897
