Overview

🚀 Switch tabs like a pro — just like in your favorite IDE!

Tired of Chrome's default Ctrl+Tab that cycles through tabs in order? Last Tab brings IDE-style tab switching to your browser. Jump instantly to the tab you were just viewing, or navigate through your recent tab history.

Switch tabs based on when you last used them, not their position. Perfect for comparing two pages — press Ctrl+Q twice to ping-pong between them.

🔍 Search & Filter
Quickly find any open tab by typing in the Recent Tabs popup. Searches both tab titles and URLs.

🪟 Cross-Window Support
Navigate between tabs across all Chrome windows seamlessly.

⚡ Auto-Switch on Close
When you close a tab, automatically jump to the previous one (optional, can be disabled).
