EasyTabSwitch

Switch Chrome tabs like apps (Option+Tab on Mac, Alt+Q on PC) in Most Recently Used (MRU) order with live preview & instant search.

Switch Chrome tabs just like you switch native applications with Cmd+Tab on macOS or Alt+Tab on Windows! By default, Chrome cycles through tabs from left to right instead of remembering the tabs you actually used last. EasyTabSwitch brings true Most Recently Used (MRU) tab switching to Google Chrome, displayed in a sleek window always centered in your browser — complete with a Live Tab Preview and instant keyboard search. 🚀 HOW IT WORKS 1. Press and hold Option + Tab on Mac (or Alt + Q on Windows / Linux). 2. Keep holding the modifier key (Option / Alt) and press Tab (or Shift + Tab to go backward) to move through your tabs sorted from most recently used to oldest. 3. Release Option / Alt to jump immediately to the selected tab! 🔍 INSTANT SEARCH MODE Have dozens of open tabs? Simply start typing any letter while the switcher is open. EasyTabSwitch automatically locks into Search Mode so you can release all modifier keys, filter your tabs by page title or domain name in milliseconds, and press Enter to jump right to the tab you need. ✨ KEY FEATURES • True MRU (Most Recently Used) Order: Instantly bounce back and forth between your two most recent working tabs with a single tap, or cycle deeper into your tab history. • Live Tab Preview: Preview a visual snapshot of the highlighted tab alongside its favicon, full page title, and URL before switching. • Always Centered in Chrome: Opens dead-center in your active Google Chrome window with a fixed, distraction-free layout that never jumps around. • Seamless Transition to Search: Switch effortlessly from quick hold-and-release cycling to full-text filtering by title or website domain. • Adaptive Light & Dark Theme: Modern glassmorphic design that automatically matches your operating system’s Light or Dark appearance. • Built for macOS & Windows: Configured out of the box for Option + Tab on Mac and Alt + Q on PC (fully customizable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts). • Multilingual Interface: Automatically adapts to your Chrome language (English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish). 🔒 100% PRIVATE & LOCAL EasyTabSwitch runs entirely locally inside your browser. It collects zero personal data, makes no external network requests, and contains no analytics, tracking, or ads.
