Use a keyboard shortcut to switch between two most recent tabs.
By default, the hotkey is Alt+Q (⌥Q on Mac) but can be configured by accessing the following URL: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
Please, take note that it's not possible to use existing Chrome hotkeys on this page.
If you still want to set e.g. Ctrl+Tab as a hotkey, you have to change the Chrome settings file.
On Windows: Press Win+R and execute "notepad %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences".
On Ubuntu: gedit ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences
Then change all occurrences of Alt+Q to Ctrl+Tab
Important: if you're using Google account sync, disable settings synchronization. Otherwise, Chrome will be overriding the changed hotkey on each restart.
If the above way doesn't work for you, follow the instructions on this Gist: https://gist.github.com/ilyachase/49c7a6d1aa543d16568520560cfaf226

- (2023-10-02) Steve Rand: Works perfectly! Small download, lightweight extension. Remapped to Alt-Q to be close to Alt-Tab and now i'm not sure how I lived without it!
- (2023-08-15) Айрат: Работает. Пипец, конечно, что нет подобной комбинации в хроме по умолчанию, как в Мозиле, например. Спасибо разрабу.
- (2023-03-07) bumbu a: Does the job, and doesn't annoy you with payment that doesn't transfer to multiple computers (as the other extension does).

- (2022-07-14) Michael Amiethyst: On OSX the default key sequence was ⌥Q, not Alt(cmd on Mac)-Q. Other than that it works great!
- (2022-06-25) Valeriy Fedorenko: Wow, finally! Had to dig through multiple MRU extensions to finally find a replacement for the one, that I've used long time. This one works perfectly and does exactly, what it should. Thank you, author!
