About

MRU Tab Stack helps you stay focused by keeping your most recently used tab within easy reach. When you switch to a tab, MRU Tab Stack can automatically move it to the front (or back) of the tab strip so you spend less time hunting for it. It respects pinned tabs and Chrome tab groups, and works with the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Tab by default).

Features
- Auto-move the most recently used tab to the front or end of the tab strip
- Works with pinned tabs and Chrome tab groups
- Customizable delay and ordering in Options
- Keyboard shortcut support (default: Ctrl+Tab)
- Lightweight and privacy-first — no external servers

How it works
Install, open Options to set the move delay and right-to-left behavior, then switch tabs as usual. The extension will move the active tab after the configured delay.

Privacy
No browsing data is uploaded. Debug logs (optional) record only limited, non-sensitive tab summaries and are stored locally in the extension console when enabled.

Permissions note: This extension intentionally requests only the `storage` permission in the manifest. It does not request the `tabs` permission or host permissions. The extension uses non-sensitive tab metadata (id, index, groupId, title) and Chrome's tab activation events to perform moves without needing extra permissions.
