great tool! I was looking for such for so long time

Switching before recent tabs - is what I've missed in Chrome and why I preferred to use Firefox. This extension fully closes this drawback. It is fully customizable and so I have what I like.

Works great! as Rok Sostaric wrote, go to "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" to change default shortcut.
