Overview
Simple keyboard shortcuts to switch between recent tabs. Alt+Q to toggle last two tabs. Perfect Alt+Tab alternative for Chrome.
Updated in April 2026 to support new chrome changes.
Go through up to 10 recent tabs with Alt+S.
After installing, set up Cmd+Q / Alt+Q on Extensions -> Keyboard shortcuts.
Simple Last Tab is a lightweight Chrome extension that turns your browser into an Alt‑Tab‑like switcher: with a single shortcut such as Alt + Q (that you can also change to cmd+q), it immediately returns you to the previously active tab or cycles through your most‑recently used tabs (using alt+s, where you can also define in Keyboard shortcuts).
Like other “switch to last tab” tools, it remembers recent tabs, so you can quickly jump back across windows without losing your place.
Unlike full‑blown tab managers, it focuses purely on quick switching; you can customize the hotkeys and that's it. That simple.
This "MRU tab switcher" is perfect for researchers, coders and anyone juggling multiple pages. Instead of hunting through a crowded tab bar, simply press the shortcut and return to the last tab you were working in, saving time and keeping your workflow smooth.
