Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
'Ctrl+Tab MRU' allows switching through tabs in the order they were visited before. By default this happens by pressing Ctrl+Y for going back in time and Ctrl+Shift+Y for the other way round.
*** IMPORTANT TO KNOW ***
Unfortunately Chrome doesn't drectly allow users to set Ctr+Tab as shortcut keys. So I suggest using the following trick to circumvent this: https://superuser.com/a/1326712.

Tab switching also works on special pages (like chrome://), Chrome Web Store URLs, PDFs, XMLs or when the address bar is focused. In this case a temporary tab is opened to show the menu.
To directly jump to a tab listed on the switcher menu, click on its title or icon.

I use this all the time. I configured it for ctrl-q and have programmed my brain to use ctrl-q instead of ctrl-tab. It works most of the time. The biggest issue I've found is if you're in a tab with popup windows in it and try switching tabs with the extension, it doesn't work. For instance, If your in gmail and have chat windows open, the mru menu will come up and stay up until you select another tab. If the developer could fix that, I would probably give it 5 stars.
Nice, but how turn off popup window when Ctrl+Tab pressed?
nice work!
Does not work. Options inactive.
It't doesn't working at all :/.
does not work :(
works with Preferences file tweak
Could actually change Ctrl + Tab behavior which was the reason I was not using Chrome thanks to Radek Zyka trick. Make sure you set the file Preferences to "read only" after the change it otherwise returns to default. Edit: Experiencing glitches with MRU order after a few days.
Probably the best MRU tab switching extension currently available (though that's not really saying much). It seems there's quite a few limitations in Chrome that these extensions have to work around, and so far this extension seems to do the best job of handling those limitations in a graceful way. Unfortunately there's a lot of buggy behavior, with tab switching occasionally not working, and tabs sometimes being ignored by the extension entirely (see the support tab for my bug reports on those issues).
You are a hero!
