Switch to the previously active tab (last tab) by pressing Ctrl+Q, or clicking the Previous Tab icon.
You can change the keyboard shortcut by visiting chrome://extensions/shortcuts .

The supported keys are Alt, Ctrl, Cmd along with:
A-Z, 0-9, Comma, Period, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Space, Insert, Delete, Arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) and the Media Keys (MediaNextTrack, MediaPlayPause, MediaPrevTrack, MediaStop).

- Extremely helpful. It is so sad that for simple basic functions with enormous potential for making workflows easier are not implemented natively. Still sorrow for losing TabMixPlus in Firefox.
- Bryan Hankey
- SO thankful that this exists!
- Stefan Trifonov
- god bless you! on a mac, using steermouse, and redefined shortcut = perfection- hint: bind to the middle mouse wheel button if your mouse has one!

- Mama Bear Haven
- Thank you so much for making this. As a long time Firefox user, the lack of this feature always kept me away from Chrome. It blows my mind Chrome has not added this functionality.

- Larry Mb7C
- So simple and so indispensable. I use it ALL the time, especially filling out a form and looking up the info in another tab. I had to create another Chrome user which no longer had this extension and then I realized how much I need it.

- Good job, but chrome recently released the tab group. The current tab switching does not support tab switching within a group.
- FamKis
- Awesome! I have been looking for something like this for years.
- Rok Pergarec
- Not working with "saved group tabs" feature. Otherwise great utility extension
- Ivan Ari Di Paolo
- Not working on the new update of grouped tabs with save groups active.
- Michele Wonder
- Totally love this extension and simply can't work without it. Found an issue with recent Chrome Updates. Stops working when using Google Chrome Tab Groups that are saved. If I don't save the tab group I can Previous Tab per my keyboard shortcut, however the second I turn on Save Tab Group it stops working.
- Hussein Alkahli
- Thanks , your are smarter then google chrome devs
- techy
- perfect for my worklow. easy toggle between 2 tabs
- Miika Ampe
- Works as expected, fast, easy, just like a setting was switched in chrome. Bob Dylan reviewed saying, "It seems it no longer switches between tabs if they're in different tab groups." I just tested and it does switch between tab groups, and between one tab group and a tab outside of a group. Since they said it "stopped working" I can't say for sure it'll stay but for me, at least so far, it works perfectly! Suggestion: It would be great if there were a function where we could press another button to switch to the third-last-used tab and the ones before it, possibly using the 3 button then 4 button and so on, or just one to keep switching backwards in history.
- Nick Thompson
- A needed function. Works just as expected. Thank you to the developers for making this.
- Bob Dolan
- This used to work great, but it stopped working. It seems it no longer switches between tabs if they're in different tab groups. Anyone else finding that?
- Chris Paton
- Couldn't use Chrome (or Edge) without this. Does one thing, does it well.

- Super simple but we can't change the shortcut, if the users prefer with CTRL + TAB? It is default for Firefox and other browser as opera.

- This is very useful extension but unfortunately doesn't work when you have two separate Chrome windows... Seems like it works within one instance of Chrome and doesn't remember the "previous" tab in the other browser instance... I hope this can be fixed.
