The Chrome Bar is currently in review by Google. It will be available in the Chrome Web Store soon.
The Chrome Bar is a super-powered command bar for quick keyboard navigation across the internet. It's a Chrome extension that adds a command bar to the bottom-right of your browser window. You can use it to search the web, navigate to websites, and run commands.
In addition to the main functionality, enabling you to browse the web using the hyperlinks on the page by starting to write part of the link text, the Chrome Bar has a number of other features:
- Performing a Google search
- Copy all image URLs
- Copy all hyperlink URLs
- Go to the site's home page
- Scroll to top
- Scroll to bottom
- Closing the current tab
- Closing the other tabs in the current window
- Closing all other tabs in all windows
- Navigate forward
- Navigate back
- Reload the current tab
- Duplicate the current tab
- Pin the current tab
- Unpin the current tab
- Mute the current tab
- Unmute the current tab
- Ungroup the current tab
- Ungroup all tabs in current tab's group
- Add tab to new group / split into new group

There are many new actions I would like to add to the Chrome Bar. I would also like to improve the performance and smoothness of the user experience.
