Tab Switcher Ultra – The Best Way to Switch Between Tabs on Chrome
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Switch between tabs instantly with an Alt+Tab style interface and keyboard-shortcuts.
To launch the UI, simply hit Alt+Q, and while keeping Alt pressed, move the selector around with the arrow keys, or one-handed with Q to move to the right, and Shift+Q to move to the left. Once you let go of the Alt key, the selected tab will become active. You can also use a mouse and simply click on the tab you want to jump to. All shortcuts are customizable!
The default first selected tab when the UI launches will be the previous tab you visited, so if you quickly hit (and release) Alt+Q, you'll jump to your previous tab without using the UI.
You can also close tabs via the UI by either hitting the Delete key on the tab you want to close, by clicking on the X-close button for the tab, or by hovering over it and pressing the middle-mouse button (mouse wheel button).
Not all pages allow UI's to be rendered in them! For instance, Chrome setting-pages, or even the Chrome Web Store (this page!). In these cases, hitting Alt+Q will simply jump to your previous tab.
Tab Switcher Ultra is extremely optimized and performant, is completely ad-free, has zero analytical tools or user-tracking, and usage is 100% private. It's also open-source, is made in Norway/Europe following EU principles, and is made because it's something I've really been wanting for myself, and thought others might like it too! 😀
If you experience any bugs or have feature/change requests, please do not hesitate to get in touch! Links are in the extension menu.

- On Chrome 140 on my side, the Alt+Q (or any other shortcut) works only around half of the times. The other half it will switch only between the second-to-last and the last used tab.

- Finally a fix for an ability that should have been a standard to any browser. Thank you <3

- Works flawlessly on my Mac. However, I don’t see the Tab Window that’s shown on the extension page and available on Windows. Option + Q works fine, but that specific Tab Window seems to be missing.

- It's awesome. [Feature request]: Allow the UI to scale vertically too, beyond 50-ish tabs I can barely see recent tabs
- Mabel
- Works super well! Microsoft Edge has this behavior on Windows and I wish other browsers / operating systems had it. The only complaint is that I wish there was a way to limit the number of tabs visible like you can in Windows, but this still works really well.

- Functional, useful and very fast. I recommend everyone who likes to open multiple cards.

- Great extension - working flawlessly. The only thing now is to get used to using it. Off-topic: Google should disable the ability to give low ratings without an explanation.

- Useful extension! Key placement is perfect. Maybe you will be confused with Alt+Tab at first but in time you will get used to using Alt+Q. 10/10

- 10/10 Chrome extension. I've waited for this for far too long; it should be Chrome's default behavior.
