Tab Slider: Keep Browser Tabs Ordered

Tab Slider is a Chrome extension that keeps browser tabs sorted in a most recently used order (MRU), just like a list of apps is organized on desktop operating systems. It slides the tabs to the leftmost position if stayed on for more than 1 second. Pinned tabs slide from left to right. Customize reordering delay and maximum number of tabs. New active tabs appear on the left immediately.

User reviews
I liked it, but today Chrome has disabled it because "it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions". Is it going to be upgraded?
