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.
The project is made open source in GitHub:

The extension I use the most is no longer available!!! BUT: Just click "got it" and turn it back on. Fixed!
This is an essential extension - please bring it back <3
Please update so it's not considered abandoned by google store. Thank you so much for this excellent extension.
My favorite extension. But it's no longer supported. What happened?
Dear Harshay, could you please update your fabulous extension. Chrome Web Store dictate it's rules.
Worked absolutely flawlessly until turned off by Chrome Web Store :-/
Sadly, stopped working today. There are various options, but a few asks for weird permissions. This one seemed right: (Previous Tab) https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/previous-tab/bjaniflnlhhofabpoamhnobeonjcjjpl
the best
Please open source this so we can at least run locally if Google decides to shut it down
Despite chrome recommending uninstall, I simply selected "Got it" and then turned the extension back on. If someone finds a similar worthy extension please post. I will do the same. Hopefully the developer will update to follow best practices and keep this awesome extension alive.
