Thanks for your advices! I will surely read your source code. It is my first time when I create an extension and I think it would be great to make it crossbrowser.

At this time it is only available for Chrome, but the project is open to contributions https://github.com/dvdvdmt/popup-tab-switcher

Thank you for your ideas! I have a plan for adding the search and the ability to focus on the popup and I want to merge them together. I think that Alt+Shift+Y is not very helpful when you press it the first time, because it just selects the oldest of the visited tabs. And want it to focus on a special search item. Here is an image of what I want to do https://imgur.com/a/qlfVT0M. So, what do you think?

Hello HN!
The Popup Tab Switcher is an attempt to bring the power of your system app switcher to a browser. The extension shows you a popup with last active tabs when you press its shortcut (Alt + Y by default). You cycle through them by holding Alt and pressing Y. By releasing the Alt key you switch to the chosen tab. This is like switching between apps in Windows (Alt + Tab) and in macOS (Cmd + Tab).
Also, when you close an active tab, you will be placed to the previously active one. It is more helpful than the default Chrome's behaviour, which activates the nearest tab.
You can delegate the default switching between tabs (Ctrl + Tab) to the extension, see how https://github.com/dvdvdmt/popup-tab-switcher#replace-defaul...
Thanks for you time, any feedback is welcome!
