Description from extension meta
Fixes selected tab after close occurs, returning you to your previous tab instead of the random one next to the one you closed.

Description from store
Automatically selects the previously selected tab if you switch to a tab, and then close it. No longer will you be left at some random consecutive tab. Also works if you detach a tab from the current window you will return to your previous tab instead of next to the one you removed,
Especially useful when you have so many tabs that you must view them before close, and you happen to guess right about which one to close, only to get lost in a sea of unlabeled tabs, forced to find which one you were just on.... well... not anymore.... If you need to manage more than just one previous tab try my other extension LasTabZ linked below.

- (2019-03-15) Or Schiro: Works as expected! 👍🙂
- (2017-03-24) Tim Silvers: I was very happy to find this extension. As a feature request, I would like for it to be faster. I see the tab just to the left for a nanosecond before the extension takes control and sends me to the previous tab.
- (2016-01-21) 유태종: It would be nice if this extension remembered complete history of tabs opened but not just last one. Edit: thank you for making everyone's life better dev!
- (2014-07-19) Wesley G (Morthawt): Perfect! It makes no sense to throw me on some random next tab just because I close one I am on. With this extension I am sent to the one I was previously on. It makes perfect sense and I love it.
