Didn't work at the beginning. I was wondering why because it's 5-star and everyone in the comments were satisfied. Took a while and it suddenly started to work. Okay, cool!

Probably the most useful little tiny extension. Does one thing. Goes to your previously viewed tab (that is still open). I don't like the default keyboard shortcut, so I changed it to Cmd+E at: chrome://extensions/shortcuts - Chrome's extensions keyboard shortcuts page is kind of hard to find, so remember that link, or go to all installed extensions then click the hamburger icon at the top left.

It would be even better if we could use the new link as the nearest tab. For example, click on a link in Google search with ctrl. You can then use this extension to navigate to a newly opened link page.

On the money! Does exactly what's needed - no more, no less! Many thanks!

Awesome feature. Any chance you could make this extension available for Microsoft Edge?

Essential extension. Really should be just part of Chrome as a standard hotkey/function - but this does what I need - use it all the time.
