Open Last Tab

Cycle through last used Chrome tabs using keyboard shortcut (Alt+Q).

Open Last Tab Extension

Open Last Tab is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to quickly cycle through your most recently used tabs. This simple yet powerful tool uses a keyboard shortcut (Alt + Q) to enable fast switching between tabs in a Most Recently Used (MRU) order. The extension is compatible with Chrome, Yandex Browser, and other Chromium-based browsers, ensuring broad usability.

Open Last Tab is based on the clut-chrome-extension, but it stands out by offering core functionality without any analytics or third-party code. Completely open source, it requires only 'tabs' permissions to operate effectively. The extension stores the order of tab usage, allowing rapid access to your recently visited pages. It’s essential to note that after updates, keyboard shortcuts may reset, so users should revisit the keyboard shortcut settings to customize their keys as needed. For those interested in the code, the project is available on GitHub.

Удобно. Пользуюсь уже много месяцев, вспомнил только после обновления, когда не переключились вкладки :)

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.
