Cycle through your most recently used tabs (MRU) like Alt+Tab, but, with the shortcut keys Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+`(~) or assign your own!

Description from store
Just like using Alt+Tab for Windows except now for your browser tabs. Use Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+`(~) or assign your own shortcut key for swapping back and forth between your last viewed tabs.

- Used to work really well before the most recent updates which gave more options. I can't get it to work anymore, no matter how many times I reinstall or follow the setup instructions
- harris daniel
- It works better than Chrome's native shortcuts. Though I think the instructions can be clearer :)
- Morgann Thain
- ctrl+q works great
- Alexandra Steinhilber
- It simply does not the job, when you use the recent tab shortcut 2 times, the second time it does nothing, I would like to be able to switch between 2 tabs with this extension and it's simply not possible. I think when you switch to recent tab the historic is not updated, but it's not just that, because we would expect in that case that using the shortcut a second time, you would go to the second last visited place, bit it simply does nothing. Also, many times, the menu with all tabs get stuck on the screen, instead of vanishing, it's really annoying, sometimes you even have to close the page because even the "close" button doesn't work. But on general, it's never doing what we need, I think it has not been tested properly, people use many more than just one "last tab", we use it successively doing many things, there are many interaction with the history, this should be taken into account, better implemented and tested in real situations.

- Works for me. I think any bugs reported by earlier reviewers must be fixed. I used the simple keyboard shortcut Cmd+M, as those are adjacent buttons on my right hand. Toggles between two non-adjacent tabs that were last visited. Just what I was looking for!

- As a fellow developer needing to open and switch between tabs is essential, and getting back to my last tab without having to think or find it in the 20-30 tabs I have open without needing to use a mouse is so amazing.

- I really like this extension. It has solved the paint point of chrome delay where other extension is suffering. Just one minor thing, it seems recent tabs list doesn't work on google doc. Is it just me?
- Остап Галадій
- Cool extention, the first mode works fine everywhere, as being said, and the second mode is so handfull but doesn't work everywhere, as being said again, and because of this i prefer the first mode

- One of the best browser extensions. Very helpful in working with tabs, now I can't imagine browsing the internet without it. Great work, great implementation, thanks to the developers!
- Pete Bragansa
- Complete garbage. Please just take down this software if it doesn't work, okay? Stop wasting people's time.

- works with control tab on install. such a lifesaver. tried a lot of other extensions but this is the only one that works with control tab. love it ❤️
- Andy
- super cool!
- Fabio Furia
- It works! However, it is really hard to make CTRL+TAB to work. Take a look at Jasons Blog
- Jean Hsu
- I luv it, solved the cycling around 1000 tabs problem.
- Bulat Salmanov
- Works perfect for me. I'm using only switch between previous tab feature with hotkey(ctrl+space in my case). But it's saves for me a bunch of cognitive load! So simple, so easy! Jason, thank you a lot for idea and implementation. I’m saying this as a developer to a developer. P.S. It doesn't switch from "special pages" like chrome settings, chrome extension store - but it's expected behavior for security reason.
- Daniel
- It only works periodically, as the reviewer above me has pointed out. More frustrating than not having the extension at all, to be honest.
- B Holmes
- Works intermittently. Haven't figured a pattern to when it functions and does not yet. Looking for alternatives.
- Pippin Wallace
- Jason, would you please explain why this extension requires the following permissions? "Read and change all your data on all websites" Updated review: bumped this from 1 to 5 stars as Jason got back to me, same day via email, with the following answer. " If you use the default usage #1 method than you will only need the "Read your browsing history" permission. Usage #1: Ideal for developers (recommended) If you use "Usage #2: For basic users" it will require all the permissions to "Read and Change ALL you data on ALL websites" Go with Usage #1 if you'd like to limit the permissions for this extension. Thanks Jason!

- 1) Doesn't work on Ubuntu 23.10 + Chrome 125.0.6422.60 (64-bit) 2) Work around for set Ctrl + Tab (Developer could do something like "Choose one of most commonly used shortcust OR set you're custom shortcut") 3) Developer's webpage is amazing (billion ads per pixel :) )
- Pierrick Android
- Most useful thing I could have dreamt of.
- Adrian Ciobanu
- Unfortunately doesn't work at all for me. Is there a way to debug it ? Maybe some other extension is blocking it? I tried multiple key combinations, and also i only tried to LRU option that help you cycle through the last X tabs.

- Sadly it's broken in bing.com... I don't know what the cause but the div element seems not found only on bing.com

- Hello! Description on extension chrome web store page says "...Use Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Q...", but how to set Ctrl+Tab as combination? When I'm trying to do this, chrome just switching tabs :)
- Tino Lee
- Thank you so much - Great tools from great guy
- mohammad farhadi
- Bro, I owe you :D. Such a reliever extension! Good job!

- Keyboard shortcuts never work. In a pretty old version of the extension, it was always working consistently.

- Extremely useful and the only one that works properly, except for the basic users options, which is unfortunate, since it includes the dev option in it and gives something extra. It works sometimes, but very not consistent. The dev option so far works great. Thanks!

- Cannot agree with randomly popping up new pages asking for money. Hard no to that.

- For the last couple of years, this is among my top 3 extensions that get installed first when I change computers or browser profiles. Loved it from day one.
