Previous Tabs is a free Chrome add-on designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing quick navigation to recently opened tabs. With a simple press of a button, users can access a list of their most recently used tabs, eliminating the hassle of searching through multiple open tabs. This tool is particularly beneficial for power users, developers, and researchers who frequently switch between various resources such as documentation and code previews.

The add-on operates using intuitive keyboard shortcuts, such as Alt + W to bring up a popup list of tabs, and navigates with ease using the arrow keys. Unlike standard browser shortcuts that only cycle through tabs linearly, Previous Tabs employs a Most Recently Used (MRU) logic, ensuring that users can quickly return to the tab they were actively working on. The visual list format further aids users in selecting the correct tab swiftly, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their productivity while browsing.
