No permissions needed. Not saying that other extension developers are malicious actors, but if you're working on proprietary info through your Chrome browser, then this gives you that peace of mind. Note to developer: if you intend to make feature enhancements, please maintain your no-permissions-needed feature. Thank you! There are other shortcut extensions that also do not require permissions to use. - Tab Pinner (Keyboard Shortcuts) - Duplicate Tab Shortcut Unfortunately, if you want one that does multiple functions without permissions needed, that seems a little harder to find. I'd assume if you're making an extension to customize multiple functions, then you'd just go the whole nine yards and allow control over as many things as you can, which would enter into permissions territory.

Спасибо за расширение! Странно, что такой фичи нет в самом браузере.

It could include a few basic things for example 'previous 10 tab activity'. Anyway it works, thank you!

It works perfectly without any problem. I even tested closing previous tabs and found out that it maintains the stack of previous tabs perfectly. It works on both my MacOS and Linux unlike another extension that doesn't work properly in my Linux. Feature request: Since it maintains a stack, digging deep into previous tabs and keep on going backwards would be nice to have. You can have two separate shortcuts to move back and forth in the stack.

It's a shame that Chrome and Chromium don't allow this by default. This extension is very helpful though it provides new shortcut for LRU tab.
