Tired of losing track of important tabs? BackTab is your solution for effortlessly navigating through your last active tabs, perfect for multi-taskers juggling numerous open pages.
Key features:
• Navigate through your last ten active tabs with simple one-hand keyboard shortcuts
• Works across multiple windows and profiles independently
• Only the "storage" permission is required (to save your tabs navigation order), ensuring your privacy
• Completely free
Unlike the browser's default back/forward navigation which moves through your browsing history, BackTab jumps between your recently active tabs, regardless of when you opened them. It's perfect for developers switching between documentation and code, researchers comparing multiple sources, or anyone who frequently juggles between different tasks in their browser.
Using the following shortcuts, you can now toggle between your active tabs:
⌨️ For Mac users:
- Navigate Back: Option + Q (secondary shortcut: Ctrl + Command + Left Arrow)
- Navigate Forward: Option + W (secondary shortcut: Ctrl + Command + Right Arrow)
⌨️ For other platforms:
- Navigate Back: Alt + Q (secondary shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Left Arrow)
- Navigate Forward: Alt + W (secondary shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + Right Arrow)
You can change the default shortcuts to fit your workflow at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

- (2023-08-10) Stig Andre Dignæs Rundhaug: A neat extension for people who have workflows with many tabs. Unlike other extensions that only take you to the previous tab or similar, this cycles through your 10 last active tabs. That adds a lot more control when you have an unwieldy beast of 30+ tabs.
