Ctrl+Tab MRU - Advanced Tab Switching Extension for Chrome

'Ctrl+Tab MRU' is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your browsing experience by allowing you to navigate through tabs in the order you have visited them last. By customizing key combinations, you can easily switch between pages, even if they are on special pages like Chrome Web Store, PDFs, and XML files. However, there might be a minor drawback with the need for a temporary tab and occasional issues if the control key is released quickly. This extension requires certain permissions for full functionality, but ensures smooth tab management. Regular updates have been provided to keep this extension in line with the latest demands and developments.

Nie ma możliwości nadpisania skrótu Ctrl+tab.

Works great. For ease of use I set my keyboard shortcuts to Ctrl + Q and Ctrl + Shift + Q. Also, enabled in Incognito and in file URLs. EDIT: Somehow, not all open tabs are listed in its menu. Have to downgrade my rating, unfortunately.
