Tab behaviour enhancements
antlane MRU tab switching is what prevents me from switching to Edge at work. It's so important in the way that I work that I can't do without it.
I hope Microsoft devs integrate it, especially that it would give more consistency with Windows.

Deleted For the desperate, there is a pretty good extension called "Popup Tab Switcher" in the Chrome Web Store. I use it and change the keyboard shortcut to alt+Q instead of alt+Y.

JordanQ Thanks for the hints. I was able to get MRU tabs 100% working with the CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB keys by doing the following:
* Enable "Allow extension from other stores" in Edge
* Installing "Ctrl+Tab MRU" from the Chrome app store (it's very similar to what you suggested) at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ctrl%2Btab-mru/ialfjajikhdldpgcfglgndennidgkhik
* Follow the directions in the above extension URL in the section titled "IMPORTANT TO KNOW" on how to change the hotkeys to be CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB.
So now I have the tab switching to be 100% working with MRU behavior.

So you got this working? I was never able to get it working on chrome, and have had the same bad luck on Edge.
Basically, I change the shortcut in the preference file - then I re-open the browser but nothing has changed. Then I go back to the preference file and see that it has reverted to CTRL+Y and CTRL+SHIFT+Y. Seems like when the browser opens, it overwrites whatever changes I made to the preference file.
