• Ulauncher > 5.0
• Python >= 3
• Brotab ~= 1.4.2

You also need to have some Python packages installed on your system.

You can do so, by running the following command:

pip install --user memoization==0.4.0 brotab==1.4.2

In some systems, you might need to run pip3 instead of pip.

Open ulauncher preferences window -> extensions -> add extension and paste the following url:

https://github.com/brpaz/ulauncher-brotab

Use the keyword brotab to list your tabs. Clicking on an item will switch the browser to the specified active tab)

You can also close existing tabs by using cl, cltab or cttab keywords instead of brotab
