Is there some way to see all my open tabs?

I can't believe how lacking Safari is in the simplest user-friendly features department. Why is there no way to view all my open tabs? Most other browsers do that with a simple click on a dropdown menu, or easily found extension. I tried looking to see if there are any Safari extensions that will do this, but please, is there really no Search function available to find an extension you're looking for, cause I haven't been able to find it.

And speaking of having to randomly look up and down lists, why isn't it possible to order the open windows menu by last-viewed? And why must they shuffle my Top Sites around, again, making me look up and down every time I want to use the "convenience" of hitting one of the sites shown? Why doesn't pinning the site keep it in its place?

Hey Saxman,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand you have some questions about using Safari. I am happy to provide some information to help.

You can show all open tabs but clicking the icon in the upper right corner that looks like 2 squares overlapping. You can see more about that here: Use tabs for webpages in Safari on Mac

I understand you also have some feedback regarding other features in Safari as well. I recommend providing feedback about the features you'd like to see here: Product Feedback

Thanks again, and have a great day!

Thanks Sterling, however, I can already see what tabs are in the window I have open in front of me, I'm asking how I can see what tabs are open, in every window, a master list, so I can find them without having to click through window by window, scanning every toolbar, which is very cumbersome & time consuming. Other browsers have an item in their toolbars that you can click to see an entire list, and others have extensions that you can place in the toolbar, and clicking it brings a pop-up window, with the entire list of tabs. I would assume Safari would offer one or the other methods of doing this, as it's not a very complicated, but incredibly valuable feature to have, no? Is there really no way to do this? No extension that can be added, that does this?
