If you are on Chrome, the tabs will be ordered from most relevant to less relevant (left to right). Please keep your browser open before running the command.

Raison D'etre

You cannot possibly know everything and as long as you can get the info you need fast you are in good shape. This package is an automation of my workflow. I search, click around and leave the tabs that might be useful open. This package allows you to search and automatically open all tabs of the first page results. Then you can close any junk tabs with "cmd+w" or "ctrl+w".

Another benefit is that all tracking stuff are removed in the case of ms google
