Overview

Cycle back and forward through your last 10 active tabs.

Tired of losing track of important tabs? BackTab is your solution for effortlessly navigating through your last active tabs, perfect for multi-taskers juggling numerous open pages. Key features: • Navigate through your last ten active tabs with simple one-hand keyboard (Alt + Q/W) shortcuts • Works across multiple windows and profiles independently • Only the "storage" permission is required (to save your tabs navigation order), ensuring your privacy • Completely free Unlike the browser's default back/forward navigation which moves through your browsing history, BackTab jumps between your recently active tabs, regardless of when you opened them. It's perfect for developers switching between documentation and code, researchers comparing multiple sources, or anyone who frequently juggles between different tasks in their browser. Using the following shortcuts, you can now toggle between your active tabs: ⌨️ For Mac users: - Navigate Back: Option + Q - Navigate Forward: Option + W ⌨️ For other platforms: - Navigate Back: Alt + Q - Navigate Forward: Alt + W You can change the default shortcuts to fit your workflow at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. We value your feedback! Please share your experience, report bugs, or suggest features through reviews. Download BackTab now and transform the way you navigate your browser tabs! *Credits to Stig Andre Dignæs Rundhaug for the icon and all the visuals for this extension.
