Grab-n-tab is a new Chrome Extension that allows you to create a collection of hotlinks to your favorite websites using icons you grab yourself.
** NEW **
Now works with
Chrome,
Edge,
Brave,
Vivaldi
and
Kiwi
browsers.
There are many similar Chrome Extensions which automatically employ the (square "favicon") icon that will often come packaged within each site, so what are the advantages of the Grab-n-tab system?
Recognizable icons
Logos tend to be rectangular so naturally, letterbox shaped icons are more recognizable than their square counterparts.
Link exactly where you want
You often want to link to specific parts of a website. For example, you can link directly to a specific YouTube channel using the channel branding rather than the generic YouTube icon. You could even make a collection of links to individual YouTube videos and have each link use an image from the video itself.
Works with smaller websites
Say you want to link to a small local website. These often do not have a favicon at all, and automated systems may offer only a colored square to represent the site. With Grab-n-tab you can grab the site's logo in just a few seconds.
