CLUT: Cycle Last Used Tabs - MV3

Cycle through last used Chrome tabs using keyboard shortcut.

CLUT: Cycle Last Used Tabs - MV3 is a Chrome extension designed to enhance tab navigation by mimicking the Windows ALT+TAB (or Mac Command+TAB) functionality. It allows users to cycle through their most recently used tabs across all Chrome windows using customizable keyboard shortcuts, improving multitasking efficiency and browser workflow.

The extension offers quick and normal switch modes, accommodating both rapid tab switching and slower, more deliberate navigation. It does not require access to browsing data, ensuring privacy. Users can customize shortcut keys easily via Chrome's Extensions keyboard shortcut settings. CLUT addresses common API limitations by using timing algorithms to deliver snappy, reliable tab switching, making it a valuable tool for power users seeking seamless control over their Chrome tabs.

The current state of this extension does not remember the last tab correctly. More often than not, the quick switch option does not switch to the previous tab. Sometimes it does, but when using this all the time (which I do), it is hit or miss.

It keeps losing tabs from the tab order.

This new version is broken, it seems to lose track of what the last used tab was so it's completely useless now. :(
