@BorislavIvanov Its usual Google Analytics which every website anyways already uses. It is to see how many people actually use the extension as opposed to install to try out but don't remove the extension even if it they don't like it. It is anonymous tracking and it just shows for e.g. 3000 users used it in the last week and so on.
None of any private data is tracked. I added it to see how much is people's interest towards the extension and to decide if I should invest in improving the extension further. Mark's comment is just creating a little unnecessary scare.
– Jul 26 '17 at 7:38. I finally found a REAL Ctrl-Tab solution and not just an 'use an alternative keyboard shortcut'-solution!. Install this extension:. Then go to the chrome extensions (chrome://extensions) and scroll down to the Keyboard shortcuts. Enter a keyboard shortcut, e.g.
Ctrl+A for 'Quick switch'. Close Chrome completely.

Open the Chrome preferences file:. Mac: /Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Preferences. Windows: C: Users YOURUSERNAME AppData Local Google Chrome User Data Default Preferences. Ubuntu: /.config/chromium/Default/Preferences. Search for the previously set keyboard shortcut inside the file, e.g. Ctrl+A and replace it with Ctrl+Tab.

Save and close the file. Reopen Chrome and be finally a happy Chrome user! Chrome on Windows (at least version 30) allows to use a Ctrl+Tab keyboard shortcut for the extensions, and some extensions do use this functionality. The following might work on Mac as well:. Install an extension which switches to last viewed tab, like (remembers only one tab into the past) or (requires a bit longer Ctrl+Tab press). Go to chrome://extensions page, click on 'Keyboard shortcuts' link at the very bottom and set Ctrl+Tab as keyboard shortcut for the extension you installed in step 1.
