Guess it depends how many tabs you have open at any time? I like the sound of the Foxpose extension, pity it just as easy to look at your actual tabs.

This way it would work with a standard keyboard shortcut/UI element and also encourage people to Ctrl+Tab because personally after so much Alt+Tab I *still* default to that when I want to switch tabs with the keyboard. Old habits die hard! To me it’s pretty clear that Foxpose should become an Alt+Tab-like tab preview bar for Ctrl+Tab, just like the XP Power Toys version of Alt+Tab.

Mouse gestures take a bit of time to memorise, but they're so much faster than having to move all over the screen and click tiny buttons--especially with how loose the extension's interpretations are. As long as the motions generally resemble the instruction, it'll work. The only reason I don't use it currently is that I've got a battery-powered mouse and I use it up faster when I'm waving it all over. I used Optimoz for a while, and loved it.
