Switch between your two most recently used tabs, just like Firefox's Ctrl+Tab behavior. Tired of Chrome's Ctrl+Tab cycling through tabs in order? Miss Firefox's smart tab switching that jumps between your two most recent tabs? Firefox-Style Tab Switching brings that beloved behavior to Chrome. Press Option+Q (⌥Q) and instantly flip between the tab you're on and the one you were just using — exactly like ⌘Tab switches between apps, but for your browser tabs. 🔄 How It Works The extension keeps track of which tabs you visit, in order. When you press the shortcut, it takes you back to the tab you were just looking at. Press it again, and you're back. Simple as that. ⌨️ Default Shortcuts • Option+Q (⌥Q) — Switch to previous tab (the one you were just on) • Option+W (⌥W) — Go further back in your tab history • On Windows/Linux: Alt+Q and Alt+W • Fully customizable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts ✨ Features • MRU (Most Recently Used) tab ordering — tabs are sorted by when you last visited them, not by their position in the tab bar • Works across windows — switch to a tab in any Chrome window • Visual tab history — click the extension icon to see your recent tabs and jump to any of them • Lightweight — zero impact on browsing performance, no content scripts injected into pages • Private — no data collection, no analytics, no network requests. Everything stays in your browser. 💡 Perfect For • Firefox users who switched to Chrome but miss the tab switching • Power users who juggle many tabs and need fast navigation • Developers switching between code and documentation tabs • Anyone who uses Ctrl+Tab and wishes it worked smarter 🔒 Privacy This extension requires only the "tabs" permission to track which tabs you visit. It does not read page content, does not collect any data, and makes zero network requests. Your browsing history stays entirely in your browser's memory and is never stored or transmitted.
