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.

This is probably the most reasonable extension available. It's a shame Chrome doesn't implement this as is, and it seems developers are preventing to implement right behavior as extension. To implement ideal extension few things are required: 1) Ctrl+Tab should be allowed as shortcut (probably not allowing automatic assignment, and putting a disclaimer when assigning manually). 2) Making possible to recognize Ctrl+Tab+Tab vs Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Tab. First should go pick 2nd MRU, second should pick MRU twice (i.e. return to original tab). The only browser that used to implement this correctly is Opera with checkbox in options which is on by default!!! The issue is one of the most starred in Google Chrome issues, however largely ignored by developers (personal preference :( ). https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5569
Please continue deving for this!! So much better than default ctrl tab.
Very useful
Completely broken; has two shortcuts for the same thing (normal and rapid), doesn't explain properly why, and the normal shortcut doesn't update the switching order for whatever reason.
Doesn't work at all like Windows. I'm not quite sure what ordering this extension is supposed to be using, but it's certainly nothing like the MRU behavior used in Windows Alt+Tab. Even the most basic interaction, switching to one tab with Alt+S then switching back with Alt+S again, doesn't work correctly.
Binded Normal switch to Ctrl + Period, works perfectly.
very good.
Works!
Works great. I tried several and this is the best I've found. Saves lots of clicking with the mouse.
Just works....
