• (2023-12-30) Jerry Green: Awesome extension! But please, there's one issue: sometimes when you Ctrl+Tab too quickly, after releasing buttons it still shows previews for a while (around 1-2 sec). The issue only appears when «Show thumbnail previews» is enabled. PLEASE REMOVE THIS DELAY
• (2023-12-05) Adam Bishop: Awesome extension. I have needed this for a long time. Thanks!
• (2023-09-14) TRẦN THANH HÙNG - ITC - AI & Big Data - Data Analyst: Nice, it's work
• (2023-08-10) Roman Gerasimov: Really, the one that works as I am used to!!! Perfect! Well done, guys!!!!!
• (2023-07-22) m m: Perfect extension! but I can't understand how to close tabs with the shortcut? what is middle click (ctrl+tab+click) ? what to click exactly? thanks in advance ;)
• (2023-07-13) Mike Hardy: FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this for years... works perfectly the second it's installed.
• (2023-06-30) Luca Pranay: All wonderful, but why is it that the DeepInstinct (one of the best A.I./deep learning virus detection engines in virustotal), detects the Native-Component.exe as infected with [email protected] (RDML:Pl6uv6Koq Will rate 5 stars when solved
• (2023-06-07) VF I: would rate it 10/10 if i could. does what it should.
• (2023-05-25) Naqash Munir: Thank God for finally finding the right extension I was looking for! The native Google Chrome CTRL+TAB was not doing the work for me as required and this extension does what we needed!
• (2023-04-29) John: работает
• (2023-04-11) Thomas Calame: Very happy with this extension. It's a feature that should be native. Ctrl + Tab is only useful that way with the most recently used order.
• (2023-03-29) Luk Melin: Tab Thumbnails Switcher, excelente, es verdad, una extension que deberia ser nativa, la mejor en su categoria.
• (2023-02-22) z Y: [Feature Request] It would be better if we could close tabs with the middle mouse button while in panel state.
• (2023-02-16) Paul Kara: It used to work with Edge, but no longer does. When you hit CTRL+TAB it reverts to the usual behaviour. You can set a hotkey under "activate extension" but the other hot key activations are missing and can't be set anymore. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, including the additional native component, but it doesn't work. I don't see it in the Edge store, so I guess it's not officially supported?
• (2023-01-16) Emiliano Fleitas (MangerzArt): Its ok, sadly, it only shows thumbnails for the last visited tabs. If i Middle click a link , i wont show thumbnail, only icon and with low res, i wanted to see all the thumbnails, even if it uses more ram.
• (2022-12-15) Money Yu: Love this extension, I search so long to looking the same tab switch behavior like Firefox, finally!!!
• (2022-12-15) Christina Eneroth: Should be the default behavior. Chrome is out of the box a broken web browser in regards to Ctrl+Tab.
• (2022-11-18) Andrey Porokhnyuk: Not a bad substitute for the absent common feature. Not bad. But the main drawback is that the tab newly created by SHIFT-click, or "open in a new tab" is not remembered as the most recent. Ant that is inconvenient, because you naturally want to proceed to newly opened tabs after reading the current content.
• (2022-10-19) Juan Bolaños: Una extensión que chrome debe ser nativa
• (2022-07-04) Andrew Ohiienko: Extension which I wanted whole my life!
• (2022-06-09) Ravichandra C: Any thoughts of supporting this in MAC chrome browser?
• (2022-05-11) 嘿了个哈: 这个插件 虽然说 挺好用的 ，但是 出现的 缩略图 顺序不是 按照 标签页顺序排列的，像是随机排列
• (2022-05-04) Shrek: Super perfect! Please bring this to MacOS next~ please~
• (2022-04-21) Jion Lee: very good！缩略图预览非常棒！
• (2022-02-15) Little Happiness: I would like to be able to place tabs wherever they are, to display tabs as they are on the browser, not to put the most recently opened page first, and to add the ability to create a new TAB
• (2022-02-11) Libor Foltýnek: Unbelievable, it works! I have been waiting years for this functionality... Thank you!
• (2022-02-06) Simon Booth: Until the Chrome team overcome their inexplicable reluctance to build this functionality into the browser, this extension is essential to make it usable.
• (2022-01-08) Simon Booth: This extension finally makes Chrome usable. It´s insane that Google refuse to implement this functionality themselves.
• (2022-01-08) Ali Mez: finally an extension to get thumbnails for my tabs. thank you. native component is a little scary though.
• (2021-12-13) George “Sonic” Drak: Life-saver
• (2021-12-06) Nathan Risto: Only shows a small number of tabs on screen. Most of my tabs were not visible or accessible through this extension. So not very useful.
• (2021-11-25) Jacques Le Roux: I use it in Edge to mimic what I still use in Firefox 56
• (2021-11-10) Tommy Z: Can't believe this is real. I hate edge force you to use `Alt+Tab` to switch to recent tabs. This solves everything
• (2021-11-07) Udi Behar: Works fine on Windows. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed making it to work on Mac OS.
• (2021-10-31) 柒玖 想像龍: 可不可以保存网站原有的相貌 像硬盘文件夹一样分层次 收藏更多网站，一目了然。
• (2021-10-07) Alex D: Simply amazing. Have been looking for this for a long time that wouldn't read all my data on all web pages and at the same time would use the native keyboard shortcut. Thanks!
• (2021-09-26) Klemens Götze: Best extension to ever happen to chrome!!!
• (2021-09-25) G Money: Finally - MRU tab switching for Chrome that works as expected. I don't know why this is not built in to Chrome, but thank you for creating this extension. Works just like it should, I can now switch between the most recently used tabs - works well with tab groups too!
• (2021-09-23) Roberto Reto: It seems that the extension has stopped working with latest versions.
• (2021-08-26) Clark Wang: Awesome! This is the extension I looking for!
• (2021-08-21) λ • genesis: It'a good extension but macOS support is necessary. Any plans for it the future?
• (2021-08-13) Venkat Srinivasan: Top extension, especially since Chrome doesnt offer any options to customize Tab switching.
• (2021-08-04) Leonid Serezhkin: НАКОНЕЦ-ТО !!!! I used to use Opera but now moved to Edge. Best browser ever (no memory leaks like Chrome) With this extension I can swtich tabs in most recent order. PERFECT!!!
• (2021-07-02) Mark Radbourne: Seriously, Microsoft have taught for years that tabbing through anything gives the last used next and yet Edge does it in tab sequence. Are you kidding me? Fortunately this extension is the answer to that. Works perfectly. The first extension I install on any Windows box I use. Thank you.
• (2021-06-30) Jan H: Great extension. Improves my workflow by a lot.
• (2021-06-27) Hoang-Phuc Tran: Can you add the option to "don't close the thumbnail preview" like the shortcut key ctrl+alt+tab in Windows?
• (2021-05-13) Edward Pilbrow: Just fabulous!!!!
• (2021-05-10) Jorge Luque: just what I wanted, like the alt tab from windows and the ctrl tab from firefox!
• (2021-05-08) Михаил Эпштейн: It's real cure for Edge! Microsoft wanted to do it a year ago. But in 2021 only this extension works!

• (2021-08-30, v:2021.6.2) Aaron Mao: 插件很棒
  标签页预览视图太小了看不清，是否优化
• (2021-08-18, v:2021.6.2) Amirkhan Saifytdinov: Max tabs in switch history
  Currently there are 20 tabs available in tabs list when you click Ctrl-Tab. Is there any way to increase this number? Thanks!
• (2021-04-13, v:2021.3.4) Илья Борисов: Performance issues
  After installing the extension, I noticed several issues: 1. With extension enabled, link context menu appears with a noticeable delay. Page body context menus appear much faster. 2. Not sure if the extension problem at all, but with it enabled sudden performance drops started to happen. As you might understand, this stuff is super tricky to debug, so I can't provide a reproduction scenario. Might not be related to the extension at all, who knows.
• (2021-03-07, v:2021.3.4) Super User: Overriding shortcuts
  I want ctrl+q and ctrl+shift+q to behave like ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab . I can change the shortcut for ctrl+tab by changing the shortcut for the "extension activation" in the edge extension shortcuts settings to ctrl+q but there is no option to do the same thing for ctrl+shift+q . Thanks.
• (2020-12-13, v:2020.12.7) Mark Temple: Flagged as a trojan with latest update
  With a recent update Windows antivirus now flags this as a Trojan, Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!ml, affecting file :...\AppData\Local\AutoControl\TabThumbs_2020.12.7.0.exe. I've had to disable it for now.
• (2020-11-24, v:2020.9.11) Simon Shkilevich: macOS 11 Big Sur support
  Apple unveiled macOS 11 Big Sur and talked about some of the improvements for Safari. In addition to native extensions, Apple is adding support for web extensions. It’s going to make it much easier to port an existing extension from Chrome - is it possible to add this native extension to safari? or at least working in chrome in macos?
• (2020-11-16, v:2020.9.11) Uriya Yavniely: A few problems that are related to way too many tabs 😅
  I really like this extension, it fills the missing piece of chrome to me, for being a comfortable content window. I wanted to report about some issues. I have 41 tabs opened and I experienced these issues: 1. In thumbnail view I cannot see them all, just the 24 leftmost tabs. 2. In non-thumbnail view - the rightmost tab is shown in the rightmost column (the 3d column), but I cannot get to it with right arrow key, only with up/left arrows keys. Thanks!
• (2020-09-17, v:2020.9.11) Laura Timmel: Tile Tabs working inconsistently
  When it works, Tile Tabs works great. However, I've come across a couple of instances where it doesn't work, plus a workaround. (1) When a Coolors color palette generator page (coolors.co/generate) is focused, selecting Tile Tabs adds a dark overlay, but otherwise does nothing. (2) I use the Custom New Tab URL extension to set my new tab page to chrome://bookmarks/. On that page, selecting Tile Tabs does nothing. (3) As a workaround, I can focus a tab with a different webpage (e.g., a Trello board) and tile the tabs from there. In this case, the Coolors and Chrome bookmarks tabs tile correctly, so the only problem seems to be opening the tab tile layout selection box on those pages.
• (2020-08-27, v:2020.6.17) Luis Santos: Last tab when closing current tab
  Is it possible to add a feature? I would like that, when I close the current tab, that the new focus tab would be last tab focused, before the current tab is being closed. In another words: when I closing the current tab I would like the following focused tab would be the tab would be focused if I short press Ctrl-TAB instead of closing the current tab.
• (2020-07-22, v:2020.6.17) Simon Shkilevich: MacOS integration
  Dear team, will it be available on MacOs soon for chrome? this is very good extension, and time saving! having it on macOs will be great!
• (2020-06-30, v:2020.6.17) Simon Shkilevich: Tab Thumbnails for MacOs
  will there be a mac OS version? this extension is a life saviour!!! please please please do this!!!!!
• (2020-03-12, v:2020.1.6) Lienhart Woitok: Please mark this extension as incompatible with linux and probably os x
  This extension requires a native component which seems to be only available for windos. But on the chrome web store it was marked as compatible with my device, which it obviously isn't.
• (2019-11-28, v:2019.10.10) Ryan L: Native Component
  I just added this extension but was stopped at the native extension part. Is this required, or just recommended? The reason I ask is because I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm really hurting without Ctrl+Tab allowing me to toggle back and forth between my most recently used tabs. If Linux is out of the question completely, would you happen to know of another way I could use or alternative extension? Thank you. Seems like a great extension - I hope to use it.

  investigating your claims in prior comments shows you to be a liar
