Home Tab

Overview

Jump to your home tab, toggle back to your most recent tab, and more

Do you often have dozens of tabs open in your browser? Do you ever find yourself hunting through all of them to find the one you need to keep going back to? Home Tab is for you! Home Tab is a small Chrome extension that remembers one tab as your home. Click the icon (or use a keyboard shortcut) to jump there. If you closed it, it can open again to the URL you saved. There's also a shortcut to bounce back to the tab you were just on. Features Set a home tab — Mark whatever tab you're on as "home" from the toolbar or a shortcut. Jump home — Instantly focus your home tab from anywhere in the window. Back to recent — Return to the tab you came from after jumping home. Keyboard shortcuts (defaults; change them in chrome://extensions/shortcuts): Open Home Tab — Alt+Shift+H (Windows/Linux), Ctrl+Shift+H (Mac — Control, not Command) Back to Most Recent Tab — Alt+Shift+B / Ctrl+Shift+B Set current tab as Home Tab — Alt+Shift+S / Ctrl+Shift+S Options page — Tweak behavior from the extension's options (opens in a tab).
