Previous Tabs
Extension Actions
Navigate to previously opened tabs by pressing a button. Press multiple times to go further back in history.
Stop wasting time hunting for that tab you were previously using. Previous Tabs brings the power of Alt+Tab style switching directly to your browser.
Standard browser shortcuts only let you cycle to the next tab in the strip. Previous Tabs is smarter: it tracks your recently used tabs. Whether you have 5 tabs open or 50, you can instantly snap back to the last tab you were active on or the one before that, and so on.
Designed for power users, developers, and researchers who constantly toggle between documentation, code, and previews.
