Chrome Tab Switcher

Chrome Tab Switcher pairs a lightweight Chrome extension with a native macOS companion app to deliver lightning-fast, most-recently-used (MRU) tab switching. Features • Instant switching — Jump back to your last tab or cycle through recent tabs in MRU order with customizable shortcuts (default: Alt + Q / Alt + Shift + Q). • Native overlay — The macOS app shows a native overlay with thumbnails, titles, and favicons, so you can see exactly where you’re heading before you switch. • Per-window context — Works independently per Chrome window, automatically filtering out incognito tabs unless you’re in an incognito window. • Smart reminders — Optional notifications prompt you to launch the companion app if the native host isn’t running. Requirements • macOS companion app — Included in the Chrome Tab Switcher project. Must be installed and running; otherwise, the extension will only display a reminder notification. • Google Chrome 110 or newer Privacy • Local-only communication — Tab titles, URLs, favicons, and optional preview screenshots are sent only to the local macOS companion app to render the overlay. This data never leaves your device and is never shared with third parties. • Zero tracking — No ads, No personal info collection
