Last Tab Back Chrome Extension

Last Tab Back is a convenient Chrome extension that enhances tab navigation by allowing you to use the backspace key to close a tab if there are no pages to return to. When you press backspace or a custom key, it will typically navigate back to the previous page. However, when no previous page exists, it will close the current tab and redirect you to the originating tab. This intuitive feature simplifies multi-tab browsing, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Key Features:

Use the backspace key to close tabs and return to the origin tab.
Options for setting custom keys to enhance functionality.
Supports Ctrl+Backspace to return to the origin tab without closing.
Easy navigation without having to remember the context of your opened tabs.

This extension also modifies your usual tab behavior and offers an upgrade through continuous updates, ensuring a smooth experience for every user.
