Tab Slider: My Biggest Browser Extension

The feedback about the extension in Chrome Web Store!

My multi-browser extension that keeps browser tabs sorted in most recently used order (MRU), from left to right, just like the list of apps on desktop OSes when holding Alt+Tab. Tab Slider brings this behavior to the Chrome browser for your convenience. Try it!

How it works:

If you stay on a tab for more than 1 second (default), it will "slide" to the leftmost position;
In this way, most recently used tabs always stay ordered from left to right;
Because of this order, when switching tabs with Ctrl+Tab, you naturally switch to the next most recently used tab;
Pinned tabs slide to the opposite side, from left to right. This behavior is intended, enabling you to conveniently switch between most recently used pinned tabs and normal tabs with keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+Tab switches to the most recently used pinned tab, and Ctrl+Tab switches back to the most recently used normal tab);
You can customize the reordering delay in the extension's settings;
New active tabs appear on the left immediately.

Once you understand this concept, you will find this tab reordering absolutely natural and logical.
