Summary

Analyze keywords

Helps jump between last used tabs by keyboard shortcut in Chrome, Yandex Browser and other Chromium-based browsers.

Default shortcut: Alt + Q

Based on clut-chrome-extension (https://github.com/harshayburadkar/clut-chrome-extension / MIT License), but without any analitycs and third-party code. Just core functionality. Open source and needs only "tabs" permissions.

This extension tries to allow you switch between open tabs in a Most Recently Used fashion. It remembers the order in which you switched tabs (made a tab active) and it updates its records so that you can switch to the recently used ones quickly.

Note: Sometimes after updating the extension the keyboard shortcut settings get reset.

When I saw that CLUT was spying on me I removed it and installed this instead, unfortunately Open Last Tab also does not fully support Tab Groups yet. I can "jump" out of a tab group, but it does not jump back into the tab group or between tabs in the same group.

Removed the tracking code of Clut, indeed. You can check it if you compare the `background.js` of the two repositories. Works flawlessly.

Appears to operate well with Tab Activate. Well done! Slowly bringing Tab Mix + functionality to Chrome/Brave piece by piece
