Quickey Tab

Your Bookmarks toolbar can get quite cluttered if you have a lot of favorite websites, which makes finding and launching the right one more difficult than many users would like.

Quickey Tab is a Chrome extension that enables you to bind each website to a keyboard key and launch them easily from your new tab page. What’s more, it displays selected images from Unsplash in the background.

What the extension does is quite simple – it allows you to assign each key on your keyboard to a specific website, making it possible to launch it with a single keystroke after opening a new tab.

Once you have brought up a new tab, simply press TAB or click anywhere on the page to display the virtual keyboard. Binding websites is very easy, and you can also assign an emoji to each key.

By default, the extension opens websites in a new tab without switching to them. However, you can also have it move to the opened website instantly, as well as close the original page.

Quickey Tab displays a photo from Unsplash in every new tab, and the extension gives you a number of themes that determine what types of images are shown. You can also access the photographer’s Unsplash page to view more of their works.

However, we noticed that the images are quite slow to load, as it normally takes about a second for the full-resolution version of the picture to be displayed. Not a huge issue, but it could bother some users.

Overall, Quickey Tab is a great extension for users who have a hard time managing their bookmarks, as it enables you to bind them to individual keyboard keys. It is very easy to set up, and it also displays high-quality background images from Unsplash in each new tab.
