- (2023-01-22) Tidy Roach: Can't live without it. Seriously xD
- (2023-01-03) Ronald Harvey: Thank you thank you thank you for making an extension that actually does what I - ME ME ME, not Google and not other developers - want my tabs to do! 1) open new tabs/links/ to the right of the existing tab; 2) open links from other applications to a new far right tab; 3) use "+" to open new tab to the far right; 4) close tab returns to the last opened tab. THANK YOU!
- (2021-05-07) Will Ashley: "Focus-Last-Selected-Tab: when the current/displayed tab is closed, display the most recent tab" Yea, this sucks, majorly. The only reason I want this extension is tab-flipping with a shortcut, but this thing where it focuses on the last selected tab *WHEN CLOSING A TAB* is so jarring and infuriating that I literally cannot use it anymore. I didn't realize that was the main point of this extension, which I assumed was tab flipping. Extremely disappointing I can't disable this annoying behavior in the settings.
- (2021-02-16) A Z: Very nice, works great. Install screens made the setup easy.
- (2021-02-07) Danni Webb: Removing because of the idiotic scream sound that occured when closing the popup window warning that its icon can't be seen on the toolbar by default.
- (2021-02-06) gezginorman: CTRL+X is a very very wrong default keyboard shortcut choice. It's just wrong.
- (2020-12-13) FamKis: While it does not work simply by clicking on the current tab in order to go back to the last tab (as Firefox FLST does), it does so clicking the add-ons-icon. Very good.
- (2020-07-31) D S: Without keyboard shortcut its not only half as powerful as it can be
- (2020-03-01) lesches choni: i didnt really get it. it was kinda weird
- (2019-10-16) Marco Büttinghausen: just donated. This extension just works in the background and I never think about it. But today it stopped working and I had to uninstall and reinstall it to get to work again and I realized how much I rely on this extension, the standard chrome behaviour to go to the last tab on the right when you close a tab is just irritating. Thx FLST for just keeping to work.
- (2019-07-01) Hosty: Hey. maybe Im crazy but this does not focus last selected tab. heres what happens, I am on a page I click a link, pop up opens another tab, I close it , and THE SECOND TO LAST SELECTED TAB GETS FOCUSED.
- (2019-03-13) Hans de Groot: Does almost all that I want. New tabs to the right, bring new tabs to front but it only focuses back to the last used tab when I click on the extention icon. I really would like it to that automatically when I close a tab. I use open in new tab in google search results a lot and when close the new tab when done and I like to jub back to the google results. It does this but only after I click the icon.
- (2018-05-13) whole product: added
- (2018-03-16) Seung Jin Sul: Function I needed! Great!
- (2015-08-02) K M: Got it cause it promised when I close a tab it goes to last active tab. It does not do this.
- (2014-11-23) Christina Fest: All I want is to minimize a tab by clicking it (Opera <3), works with the Fox, Ynot here?
- (2014-06-23) Przemek Kuczyński: Super! Dokładnie to czego szukałem. Dzięki takim dodatkom, Chrome powoli uzyskuje niedoścignioną nadal funkcjonalność Opery.
- (2014-02-01) Jason Ure: Is there a keyboard shortcut to make this work? Thanks
- (2013-11-23) Tim Tan: Doesn't work anymore except when clicking on button (which is a pain and pointless). Unclear what "new tab" location specifies. New tabs are always at end anyway?
- (2013-09-28) Pat Jordan: Chrome should work this way on its own. Now I'll switch from Firefox permanently. Thanks!
- (2013-06-05) Remy van Tol: It works pretty good, but beware not to hide the button, or else the shortcut doesn't work anymore.
- (2013-04-14) Timo Reimann: Finally a MRU extension that lets me bind a keyboard shortcut to it. For those you missed the news: Since Chrome 25, it's possible to bind shortcuts to browser actions (i.e., the action taken when clicking on an extension icon) or any command made available by an extension. See http://googlesystem.blogspot.de/2012/08/create-keyboard-shortcuts-for-chrome.html for details.)
- (2012-06-29) Eric Bodden: I really like this extension. I actually wonder why this is not the default in Chrome. A concern for me is the permissions it requires. Why does it need to see all data on all websites I browse?
- (2012-01-05) Osioke [o-SHO-Keh] Ojior: I may now switch fully from firefox to chrome. This is what I've been waiting for. I would give 5 starts if there were a way I could assign a keyboard shortcut to use this, rather than pressing the icon to focus on the last selected tab. Please consider creating this feature; such that Alt + Tab will switch between the current tab and the last selected/viewed tab.
