User reviews

As of this review, this extension hasn't seen an update in over a year. However, Chrome doesn't warn me that it could get phased out due to old Manifest v2 usage. That's cool. This extension's Chrome Store page makes big claims, but the reality is that it only supports two Keyboard Shortcuts — Tab-Left or Tab-Right. Why not, at least, add the ability to flip between most recent two tabs?

The extension worked as expected. I customized my shortcut keys to Alt+Q (left) and Alt+W (right) since they are the closest to my muscle memory for Alt+Tab. Great job!
