Pretty much essential to make chrome usable.

Update 2024-08-18 Chrome is bitching about "This extension may soon no longer be supported". Any plans to migrate the extension to manifest v3 or whatever is needed to keep it running? ------ 2018-06-11 I LOVE IT! I just found out that it accepts decimal values for the Delay!! 0.5 sec worked best for me. Great for guys like me who step quickly through the tabs and dont want to wait for the sorting. :) UPDATE: After 5 years this is still the first extension I add whenever I get hands on a vanilla browser. Never had an issue. I hope this extension continues to work. Or companies understand that MRU (Most Recently Used) Features are great. I guess some UX Experts are still not convinced.

If you're looking for a solution to make CTRL+TAB observe the MRU order, this is what you need. All the other extensions to achieve this will take you down the rabbit hole of custom key bindings, because Chrome does not allow you to re-assign CTRL+TAB. This works around that mess by re-ordering the tabs (instead of hi-jacking the key binding) and works beautifully. Thank-you Brandon!
