PreTab

Switch to your previously active tab easily using a shortcut or when closing tabs.

PreTab is a lightweight browser extension that improves your browsing workflow by changing how tabs behave when closed. It combines two smart behaviors to keep you focused: 1. MRU Switching: When you close a tab, PreTab switches you back to your last active tab instead of the nearest neighbor. 2. Smart Queue: If you open multiple tabs in the background, PreTab treats them as a queue. Closing one takes you to the next unread tab. Features: - Smart History: Keeps track of your tab activation order in the background. - Batch Processing: Automatically detects background tabs and guides you through them sequentially. - Zero Configuration: Install and it just works immediately. - Privacy Focused: No tracking, no analytics, no external servers. 100% offline. - Lightweight: Written in pure JavaScript with zero external dependencies.
