Revolver - Tabs is a Chrome extension that automatically rotates through your open browser tabs, creating a dynamic slideshow experience. Ideal for use in kiosks, TV displays, or unattended screens, it allows users to pause rotation while active and customize timing intervals between tabs. Options include reloading tabs on each view and controlling rotation behavior across multiple windows.

This extension was created by Ben Hedrington but is currently being re-developed under the new name goRotate due to major changes in Chrome extension technology. Users can search for "goRotate" in the Chrome Web Store for the latest version. Revolver - Tabs is open source, welcoming community contributions, and includes advanced settings to tailor the tab rotation to your needs.

User reviews

Revolver - Tabs is praised for its smooth, automatic cycling through browser tabs, especially useful for dashboard monitoring and presentations on external displays. Users appreciate its ease of use and individual tab settings. However, several users report reliability issues such as the extension stopping unexpectedly or causing browser freezes, sometimes requiring restarts. Customization options like adjusting the switch interval are limited, and some wish for enhanced visual features. Overall, the extension is highly valued but has stability and feature improvement needs.

I used to use this all the time, but now I can't. Google is still showing it in search results right at the top which is very annoying.
