en Works perfect for me. I'm using only switch between previous tab feature with hotkey(ctrl+space in my case). But it's saves for me a bunch of cognitive load! So simple, so easy! Jason, thank you a lot for idea and implementation. I’m saying this as a developer to a developer. P.S. It doesn't switch from "special pages" like chrome settings, chrome extension store - but it's expected behavior for security reason.

en It only works periodically, as the reviewer above me has pointed out. More frustrating than not having the extension at all, to be honest.

en Works intermittently. Haven't figured a pattern to when it functions and does not yet. Looking for alternatives.

en Jason, would you please explain why this extension requires the following permissions? "Read and change all your data on all websites" Updated review: bumped this from 1 to 5 stars as Jason got back to me, same day via email, with the following answer. " If you use the default usage #1 method than you will only need the "Read your browsing history" permission. Usage #1: Ideal for developers (recommended) If you use "Usage #2: For basic users" it will require all the permissions to "Read and Change ALL you data on ALL websites" Go with Usage #1 if you'd like to limit the permissions for this extension. Thanks Jason!

en 1) Doesn't work on Ubuntu 23.10 + Chrome 125.0.6422.60 (64-bit) 2) Work around for set Ctrl + Tab (Developer could do something like "Choose one of most commonly used shortcust OR set you're custom shortcut") 3) Developer's webpage is amazing (billion ads per pixel :) )
