Cette extension est top ! Contrairement à d'autres comme "Open Last Tab", elle fait le job sans avoir à payer 1€ au moment de l'utiliser, et elle marche nickel. J'adore le raccourci Ctrl+Q pour jongler entre les onglets en deux temps 2 mouvements. C'est clairement du 5 étoiles pour moi, aucune hésitation !
