This is nice, but what I really don't get is how come the most popular browser in the world in 2020 not have an native option to go through the tabs in the most-recently-used order.
This is major productivity improvement compared to ctrl-tabbing the tabs in their physical order. IIRC, multi-tabbed IDEs figured it out somewhere in the 90s and it has become a de-facto standard since then. But nope, Chrome doesn't support it, making the Ctrl-Tab hotkey effectively useless if you have more than a handful open tabs.
I only wish that a) it would visually display the tab history the way Firefox does, and b) being able to shorten the Normal switch backward timer, so I could use that only.
This is my number 1 pet peeve with chromium browsers, drives me crazy that they won't implement this properly. It doesn't look like the new Edge will either (no reaction on MRU features requests). Every few months I go check https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5569 to see if someone sane decided to reopen the issue but no luck until now.
