NavyTab

Smart Tab Manager: close tab activates left one, new tabs open on the right, Alt+C to switch to last tab, remove duplicate tabs

NavyTab - Smarter Tab Management for Chrome Open dozens of tabs every day? Chrome's default tab behavior can be frustrating: closing a tab jumps to the right instead of the left, new tabs open far away at the end of the tab strip, and hunting down duplicate pages means scrolling through every tab one by one. NavyTab is a lightweight extension built to fix exactly these pain points. 🔥 Four Core Features 1. Activate the Left Tab After Closing - Chrome default: Activates the right tab after closing - NavyTab: Activates the left tab, matching your natural left-to-right browsing habit - Why it matters: When you browse pages in sequence, closing the current tab naturally brings you back to the previous page — not some unread tab on the right. Whether you're reading articles, doing research, or comparing products, this small detail keeps your browsing flow intact 2. Open New Tabs to the Right - Chrome default: New tabs always open at the far right of the tab strip - NavyTab: New tabs open immediately to the right of your current tab - Why it matters: Links opened from a page stay right next to it. Related pages are always grouped together — no more dragging through the tab strip hunting for what you just opened 3. Alt+C Quick Tab Switch - Instantly toggle between your two most recent tabs with one shortcut - Works just like Alt+Tab for switching windows - Why it matters: Comparing two pages or referencing docs while you work? No mouse, no memorizing tab positions — one keystroke and you're there. If the shortcut is taken by another program, the extension proactively reminds you to reassign it 4. Remove Duplicate Tabs - Right-click on any page and choose "Remove Duplicate Tabs" to close all URL duplicates in the current window, keeping just one of each - The menu shows a live count of closable duplicates at a glance - If the tab you're currently viewing is among the duplicates, it's the one kept - Why it matters: Duplicates pile up fast when you have many tabs open, and closing them manually is tedious and error-prone. One click and your tab strip is clean again ✨ Why Choose NavyTab - 🪶 Lightweight: Minimal code, no bloat, near-zero system resource usage - 🔒 Privacy-focused: Collects zero user data, makes no network requests — everything runs locally - 🎯 Simple: Install and go.
