Heavy Recent Tab Switcher di Abstracto

Heavy Recent Tab Switcher

If you keep dozens of tabs open and rely on cycling through them in recent order, you’ve probably hit a wall: Firefox natively caps its visual Ctrl+Tab menu to just your last 6 tabs. If you go past that, your oldest recent tabs just vanish from the list.

Heavy Recent Tab Switcher completely removes that restriction. It gives you a clean, expansive visual grid overlay that tracks your actual tab history, allowing you to cycle through up to 48 of your most recently used tabs seamlessly without losing your place.

Built purely for keyboard-heavy workflows, developers, and intense multitaskers.



Key Features

• Expanded Recent History: No more 6-tab bottlenecks. View a generous, multi-row grid of your most recently active tabs that gracefully scrolls if you manage a massive stack.
• Rapid Alt-Tab Navigation: Hold Alt and tap Q to bring up the grid and cycle forward, or Shift+Q to cycle backward. Releasing the Alt key instantly switches to your highlighted tab.
• Instant Search Filter (Alt+W): Need to find something even deeper in your history? Tapping Alt+W drops you straight into a search bar that instantly filters through every single open tab in your browser.
• Quick Mouse Closures: Clean up your workspace on the fly. Middle-clicking any visual card instantly closes that tab without forcing you to switch to it first.
• Completely Lightweight & Private: Runs entirely locally on your machine with zero background bloat and absolutely no data tracking.
