Cycle through last used Chrome tabs using keyboard shortcut.
Default shortcut: Alt + Q
Based on Open Last Tab from xordiv (https://github.com/xordiv/open-last-tab-chrome) which originated from clut-chrome-extension
(https://github.com/harshayburadkar/clut-chrome-extension / MIT License). This version does not have any analytics, third_party code, and properly tracks window focus. It has also been updated to work with the latest Manifest v3.
The project is made open source in GitHub:

- (2025-05-07) Marc Stober: It switches back and forth between the current tab and the previous tab. It doesn't keep going back through the history of most recently used tabs. I'm not sure if this is what is intended, or it's a bug. What I'd like it to do is work more like the Alt-Tab feature of Windows (which also works with Edge).

- (2025-02-27) Stipe Vicković: Hi, I have recently switched from Windows to MacOs and can't use this really useful shorcut. Any suggestions how to use it on Mac?
- (2024-10-28) Towfiq I: Works as advertised. Very useful extension when you have hundreds of tabs opened.
- (2024-08-27) Achim Braemer: Needed a manifest version 3 replacement for the "CLUT: Cycle Last Used Tabs" extension, this one seems to do the job just fine. By the way, this is an absolutely essential extension for me, without it I would switch to a different browser. Never understood how people live without it, or how Google can be so ignorant as to never build it into Chrome. All other Chromium-based browers I know have this feature built-in. Thanks ton, Gary!
- (2024-03-11) Tom Plessers: Thank you for forking the original extension and removing the analytics, that makes your extension instantly much better. If I may ask, could you please add the possibility to cycle tabs within the new Chrome tab groups functionality? At the moment, just like CLUT, it's not possible to switch tabs if that tab is inside a Chrome tab group, which almost all of my tabs are
