Recent Tabs

Cycle through your most recently used tabs (MRU) like Alt+Tab, but, with the shortcut keys Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+`(~) or assign your own!

What is Recent Tabs?

Recent Tabs is a Chrome extension designed to enhance user efficiency by providing a shortcut to quickly alternate between the most recently used tabs. Just like the Alt+Tab function in Windows, Recent Tabs uses the Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Q, or Ctrl+` keys, or any custom shortcut key of your choice. Now, browser tab navigation is just as easy as switching windows on your PC.

Unfortunately doesn't work at all for me. Is there a way to debug it ? Maybe some other extension is blocking it? I tried multiple key combinations, and also i only tried to LRU option that help you cycle through the last X tabs.
