If you read a bunch of websites that do not relate to your work whatsoever while you’re at work, well, here’s the one chrome extension worth downloading: Panic Button. It quickly hides all of your open tabs in Chrome and lets you open them up all later. Like, when your boss isn’t around.

If the ‘Panic Button’ wants to be useful, it needs gesture support!
Lool. Reminds me of back in the days of school. The ‘clever’ IT admin bolted the desktops to the desk so if the desks were banged it would short the Motherboard. We never got caught doing anything but they always new something was up as anytime they walked into the computer room all the computers were POSTing.
Just installed this – I like it, thanks. Nice to be able to set up a custom page (or pages) to open on one key press. Not sure how much I need it, but you never know!
