I always liked the model of browser tabs as buffers rather than tabs. It reminds me of the philosophy difference between vim and emacs: since accessing a certain tab is O(N), Vim gets unwieldy if I have more tabs open than I have horizontal screen space. On the other hand, I have more than 500 Emacs buffers open and never have to worry when I switch between them. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use Chrome that way too!
Is there any way around this? Is it possible to jailbreak Chrome?

The button to enable it on the extensions page is greyed out with a warning.
Doing some more research, it looks like Chrome started doing this awhile ago to prevent malware, supposedly. You can now only get extensions through the Chrome web store.
Try this as a workaround:
- clone the repo
- go to chrome://extensions/
- enable "Developer mode"
- Click on "Load unpacked extension..." and select the cloned directory
I'm not asking you to publish it on the store just for me. I think the store is bullshit. They charge money from publishers, let in tons of malware, have automatic updates, and don't let people inspect the source.
