About Quick Tab Switcher
Summary:
Hold Alt+Q and tap to flip through your open tabs as thumbnails, most-recently-used first. Release to switch. Just like Windows Alt-Tab app-switching function but within Chrome!
Description:
Stop hunting through a crowded row of look-alike tabs. Quick Tab Switcher gives you a fast, visual way to jump between tabs using nothing but the keyboard.
Hold Alt+Q and tap to step through every open tab — across all your windows — shown as a grid of thumbnails, most-recently-used first. Let go and it switches straight to the tab you landed on.
Features
Hold, tap, release — the switch happens the instant you let go of the shortcut, not on a delay.
Most-recently-used order — your last tab is always just one tap away.
Visual thumbnails — each card shows a snapshot of the page as you last saw it, not just a generic icon.
Works across all your windows — cycle through every open tab in every Chrome window from one view.
Close tabs without switching — hover a card and click the ✕ to close it on the spot.
Fully remappable shortcut — change it any time at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
No tracking, no accounts, no network requests — everything runs and stays entirely on your machine.
Permissions, plainly explained
Tabs — to read tab titles/icons and switch between them.
All sites — to capture a thumbnail of the page you're currently viewing so background tabs show a real preview instead of a blank icon.
Storage — to cache those thumbnails for your current browser session only (cleared on restart, never written to disk elsewhere, never sent anywhere).
