Description from store
'Ctrl+Tab MRU' allows switching through tabs in the order they were visited before. By default this happens by pressing Ctrl+Y for going back in time and Ctrl+Shift+Y for the other way round.
*** IMPORTANT TO KNOW ***
Unfortunately Chrome doesn't drectly allow users to set Ctr+Tab as shortcut keys. So I suggest using the following trick to circumvent this: https://superuser.com/a/1326712.
*** *** ***
Tab switching also works on special pages (like chrome://), Chrome Web Store URLs, PDFs, XMLs or when the address bar is focused. In this case a temporary tab is opened to show the menu.
To directly jump to a tab listed on the switcher menu, click on its title or icon.
Drawbacks:
- At the moment I don't have an idea how to avoid the temporary tab. It's required because I otherwise could not detect the release of the ctrl key (=end of the switching action) on special pages.
- If you release the ctrl key too fast while the temporary tab is loaded I am unable to detect the key-up event, therefore the menu gets stuck. Please hit the ctrl key again to finish switching.
- Recent tab order is not preserved when closing and restoring a window.
Permissions:
- 'Access your data on all websites': required to draw the tab list on top of the websites' content and to detect PDFs and XMLs.
- 'Access your tabs and browsing activity': required to record tab order, open the temporary tab and to switch to the selected tab.

- (2022-02-09) Big Japko: Works fine, except for localhost pages or local files (eg. pdf).
- (2021-07-04) Mauricio Sellaro: Congratulations by your little big idea !!! You are created an excellent extension !!! It is so practical as simple. Keep it up Daniel !!!
- (2019-10-20) Daniel Liuzzi: See https://superuser.com/a/1326712/18964 for a more proper solution to bind Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to this extension that's easier, will not reset when you close Chrome, and will even sync to your profile. All credit goes to Nathan Ladwig and jdunning.
- (2019-07-26) Thomas Whaley: Really nice implimentation, this is the third plugin that I tried when looking for this functionality. Dont think I will be looking any further, GJ
- (2019-06-04) Awesome! The only extension out there (as far as I know) that has a comprehensive (and working) instruction as what to do to use Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle through the last two previously used tabs (as is the case in Firefox). Shame on Google for not having this convenient feature!
- (2019-04-26) Kevin H: It works on my Mac with Brave browser with the "change your settings file hack"! Great work! Thank you so much!
- (2019-03-25) Ree: no worky
- (2018-12-14) Dewi Jones: source code? :)
- (2018-09-29) Elham Najafzadeh: Actually this feature is more useful than ctrl+Tab, which switches between tabs on the order of occurrence. I do not know why it is not provided in chrome. But that pop up which shows the list of tab could have a better design.
- (2018-08-01) Артём Назаров: Даже после выполнения инструкции от уважаемого Roman T при попытке переключить вкладку плодит пустые вкладки с адресами chrome-extension://ialfjajikhdldpgcfglgndennidgkhik/at_flansch_ctrltabmru.html?at_flansch_ctrltabmru=next
- (2018-07-27) らんあら: ダミーでCtrl+Y,Ctrl+Shift+Y(※Yは何でも良い) 等のショートカットを設定してから、 Winの場合: C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences Macの場合: /Users/<yourUserName>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences を、 Ctrl+Y→Ctrl+Tab Ctrl+Shift+Y→Ctrl+Shift+Tab に編集するときちんと動作しますし、 [*** IMPORTANT TO KNOW ***] にもその内容が書いてあるのですが、 最初かなり苦戦し、導入に苦労しました。 インストール時にPreferencesファイルを自動で編集することは難しいのでしょうか？？ ただし、導入後は非常に重宝しています。 Ctrl+Tabを押した際に出てくる履歴一覧が、Win, Mac ,Firefox Quantum みたいに中央に横並びで出てくると、カッコいいですが、ちょっと贅沢かもしれませんねw
- (2018-07-11) Danni Webb: Doesn't work. Options greyed out.
- (2018-04-01) Sid Sen: There is an issue with this extension. At times it does not show all the open tabs when you press ctrl+q (or whatever is the shortcut). Then I have to manually restart the extension, after which it works for a while.
- (2018-02-23) DvM: Ctrl+Tab shotcut can't be programed easily. Thanks to Roman T instruction we made it manually on "low level". Extension not as "install and play". Please, change something. For example programing not as pressing the keys, but inputing it as text.
- (2018-01-16) Dmitry Torshin: Thank you very much! It doesn't work with multi accounts, but it still useful, even with Ctrl+Q (for example) combination.
- (2018-01-10) Hugh Hyatt: Under too many circumstances, I don't have Ctrl-Tab access to most of my open tabs.
- (2018-01-02) Lorenz Pressler: does not work. inactive options.
- (2017-12-06) Castor Sky: Если включена синхронизация - работать не будет (или будет, но до первого закрытия хрома). Настройки клавиш меняются при перезапуске.
- (2017-10-13) nako ruru: great one but not work well on mac
- (2017-09-09) Stefano Roffi: Di utilizzo non immediato ma efficace ed utilissima per chi è abituato a swappare tra una tab e la precedente.
- (2017-08-07) idream 0: Ilike work with fullscreen,it is very nice for switch tabs between differents tabs.
- (2017-07-07) Must have!
- (2017-04-15) starrychloe S.: Seems to work. Just using CTRL-Y instead. Ah, just stopped working!
- (2017-04-05) Vitali Liubarski: doesn't work in chrom
- (2017-03-25) Duane Hutchins: This doesn't direct me to the most recent tab. It seems the order is close but not quite right.
- (2017-03-21) _: Наконец-то кто-то это сделал. Пусть и не без плясок с бубном, но хоть так.
- (2017-01-14) Roman T: Как сделать чтобы работало ----------------------------------------------------- 1) Установить расширение. 2) Перейдите на страницу расширений. Зайти туда можно из меню. Или так: в Chrome это адрес chrome://extensions/. В ЯндексБраузере browser://extensions/ 3) В самом низу страницы расширений есть ссылка "Быстрые клавиши". Нажмите ее и откроется окно "Быстрые клавиши для расширений". 4) Найдите пункт "Ctrl+Tab MRU" и назначьте в подпункте "Switch to older tab" любую горячую клавишу. Например, Ctrl+A. Для второго пункта "Switch to newer tab" назначьте, например, Ctrl+Shift+A. Сразу назначить удобные клавиши Ctr+Tab (следующая закладка по списку) и Ctr+Shift+Tab (предыдущая закладка по списку) не получится, так как при введении гор. клавиши браузер просто переключится на др. вкладку. 5) Запишите себе, на всякий случай, ID этого расширения: ialfjajikhdldpgcfglgndennidgkhik. 6) Закройте браузер и перейдите в его папку. В папке ...\profile\Default\ найдите файл Preferences и откройте его в любом текстовом редакторе, например, в том же Блокноте. 7) Найдите и замените сочетания таким образом: Ctrl+A —> Ctr+Tab Ctrl+Shift+A —> Ctr+Shift+Tab В том районе должно быть примерно такое: ..."commands":{"windows:Ctrl+Shift+Tab":{"command_name":"previous","extension":"ialfjajikhdldpgcfglgndennidgkhik","global":false},"windows:Ctrl+Tab":{"command_name":"next","extension":"ialfjajikhdldpgcfglgndennidgkhik","glob... 8) Сохраните файл Preferences и закройте его. Запускайте браузер и ваши новые клавиши Ctr+Tab и Ctr+Shift+Tab должны работать. Сделать так, чтобы работало СРАЗУ по Ctrl+Tab на уровне расширения невозможно в принципе — это нужно править исходники, как сделали Opera и Vivaldi...
