Keep your tabs ordered by their most recent usage.

Description from store
This extension keeps browser's tabs sorted in most recently used order (MRU), from left to right, just like a list of apps is organized on desktop operation systems (while holding Alt+Tab). Tab Slider brings this behavior to Chrome browser for your convenience. Try it!
How it works:
+ If you stay on tab more than 1 second (default), it will "slide" to the leftmost position;
+ In this way, most recently used tabs always stay left-to-right ordered;
+ Because of the order, naturally, when switching tabs with Ctrl+Tab, the browser will switch to the next most recently used tab;
+ Pinned tabs will slide to the opposite side, from left to right. This behavior is intended, enabling you to conveniently switch between most recently used pinned tabs and most recently used normal tabs with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+Tab switches to most recently used pinned tab, and Ctrl+Tab switches back to most recently used normal tab).
+ You can customize reordering delay or maximum number of tabs in the extension's settings;
+ New active tabs appear left immediately.
Once you understand this concept, you will find such reordering of tabs absolutely natural and logical.

- (2023-03-22) The A Man: One of THE BEST, if not THE BEST extension ever. Raised a feature request on the Vivaldi forum for this very feature a couple days ago; nobody responded; was looking for an Alt-Tab style tab switcher for the browse instead, and found THIS! At first was hesitant, since there always are a bunch of tabs opened on the leftmost side of my windows which I won't want repositioned, and then saw that one could exclude pinned tabs from the rearranging behaviour! This extension is JUST PERFECT! If only there was a similar app for Windows, to sort the windows 10/11 taskbar icons too; sure, the Alt-Tab and Win-Tab task switchers are great, but they're not always passively/silently visible like the taskbar icons are, and are a click or a shortcut away too... Nevermind. Anyway, keep up the good work, buddy; I was so sad the past few days that this feature wasn't there, and you just made me so so so happy!!! Love you.
- (2022-07-06) tabliqat chi: I admire the work you have done Nikita and I know you put time and effort on this, so thank you very much. However, this can get easily confusing because you sometimes only visit a tab "to know what it is" and no certain delay can work for all cases. I liked it too when I installed it, but soon I realized it wasn't what I fancied. Maybe an extension that allows me send a tab to the first in the tabs order "manually" will do better. But in general, I know this is free software and I thank a lot. This was just an honest friendly message/comment/feedback. ☺

- (2020-08-11) Adam Jake: Great. I was missing this feature since i left opera
- (2019-08-21) Igor Petrovic: Really nice idea and it works really good. Do you think you can implement an option to have the tabs sorted on the right? Thanks for your work, cheers.
- (2018-06-08) Marc Bear: Makes web browsing so much more intuitive!
- (2018-04-13) Dmitry Torshin: Such wow! Can't understand, how I lived without it. I used CTRL+TAB MRU extension. But this much intuitive. You always see tab order.
- (2018-01-29) 林东吴: 一直想让浏览器能像 VSCode 那样快速切换到最近在用的页面，这样做一件事的时候可以快速切去参考然后无脑切回来。 不得不说这个应用做得比 VSCode 和火狐都更好，因为它还留出了一个一秒的等待时间，这样就有更多微操余地了，好评！
- (2018-01-16) Scott MacDonald: Great extension, simple and works as advertised. It takes an hour or so to get used to it and then you just know where your tabs are and it really helps productivity.
- (2017-11-05) Nikita Savchenko: I got used to this extension so much that now I can't browse the net without it.
