Tab Filter is a Sublime Text plugin for quickly switching between open tabs. Invoking Tab Filter brings up a "GoTo Anything"-like quick input showing your opened tabs for the current window, allowing you to quick filter on file names to rapidly switch amongst existing tabs.
This plugin is compatible with Sublime Text 3 and 4 (and still should be with 2).
Tab Filter is also available through Package Control. To install, bring up the Command Palette (brought up using ctrl+shift+p on Linux / Windows or cmd+shift+p on OS X) and run the Package Control: Install Package command - now search for and select Tab Filter.
From within Sublime Text, go to the Preferences > Browse Pacakges menu; this should open up your file browser at the correct location for where your copy of Sublime text stores all packages.

Tab Filter can be configured to show or hide additional captions relating to the state of each open tab. The captions include: Current File, Unsaved File, Unsaved Changes and Read Only. Captions are shown by default, but this behaviour can be changed by setting the show_captions setting to false.
By default, Tab Filter only shows the basename of open tabs (where they're really files and not just buffers, of course). This configuration can be changed to instead show and therefore allow filtering by the full, non-common path of the file instead by changing the include_path option to true.
By default, Tab Filter only focuses the tab if it gets selected. To always focus/preview the currently highlighted entry, set preview_tab to true. Note that this currently only works with a single group layout (no splitted window).
