Overview
Makes switching between tabs more convenient.
The extension shows you a popup with last active tabs when you press its shortcut (Alt + Y by default). You cycle through them by holding Alt and pressing Y. By releasing the Alt key you switch to the chosen tab. This is like switching between apps in Windows (Alt + Tab) and in macOS (Cmd + Tab). Also, when you close an active tab, you will be placed to the previously active one. It is more helpful than the default Chrome's behaviour, which activates the nearest tab. You can delegate default switching between tabs by pressing Ctrl + Tab to the extension, see how https://github.com/dvdvdmt/popup-tab-switcher#replace-default-tab-switching-behaviour NOTE: The extension tries to render its popup on the page wherever it is possible, but there are cases where it can't do that: * Chrome's web store pages. The extension doesn't work here. * Special Chrome tabs such as Settings, New tab, History, etc. In this case the extension tries to switch a user from a special tab to a previous tab without showing a popup. * The page has no focus (a user searches on the page, focused on address bar, etc.). In this case the extension shows its popup and starts a timer by the end of which it will switch a user to the selected tab. * Files pages (URL starts with file:///). The extension can't work on such pages without a special permission which you can turn on in Extensions > Popup Tab Switcher (Details) > Allow access to file URLs.

This is a very useful feature I can't live without. I think this should be a native feature. The extension work exactly as expected. I understand this is a free extension and I really appreciate it but the UI is a bit dated. Thank you

I like this lot when it works however there is a bug somewhere in this where when enabled it allows chrome to bring a different window in the background to the forefront/active window when you close a tab or close a pop up window, have had to disable this extension for the time being as this is massively annoying.

Does what it says (show tab groups in the popup would be nice). Default key shortcut is not great for one hand. You can change it by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts
