Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
This extension tries to mimic the ALT+TAB behavior from Windows(or Command+TAB in Mac) to allow to switch between open tabs in a Most Recently Used fashion.
It remembers the order in which you switched tabs (made a tab active) and it updates its records so that you can switch to the recently used ones quickly.
Note: Sometimes after updating the extension the keyboard shortcut settings get reset. Hence you might want to set the desired keyboard shortcuts again in the keyboard shortcut settings in the Chrome Extensions page.
Alternatively, navigate to chrome://extensions/shortcuts from your address bar to change shortcuts.
Please rate and comment.

Doesn't work anymore on Windows and latest Chrome. Can you please check? Thanks!
Exactly what you need if you write code! Love it!
簡潔かつ高性能なQuick switch 機能が良い！早く2回押すと2つ前に戻る。
Good! It's working!
New issue after the 2023 Nov Chrome update: It doesn't work for tabs that are in Group and have Save Group turned on. -- It works. The only issue is that the rendering of the browsing history is delayed by 1 or 2 sec, and it didn't keep track of Alt key. So if I press and release Alt+S twice within 2 second, it will not switch between current page and the last page. And, if I press Alt+S and releasing S but holding Alt, it will not continue cycling to the previous page when I press S again. (Basically, it didn't behave like the Alt + Tab in Windows.)
this is the only working extension i found
Yay!! Finally an MRU tab extension that actually works. If you're using Windows then you can map Ctrl+Tab to Alt+W using autohotkey. Add these lines to your autohotkey script: #IfWinActive ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1 ^Tab::Send !w ; Map Ctrl+Tab to Alt+W #IfWinActive Modifying the Chrome Preferences file didn't work for me. I sync my Chrome preferences, so every time Chrome restarted it overwrote my modifications to the Preferences file.
