Extension 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.
