If you do use Safari, try my little ReTab extension. It makes jumping back and forth between tabs way smoother and honestly improves my productivity & enjoyment a ton. Tap Cmd+E to jump back & forth between your last visited tabs Hold Cmd+E to show a list of your tab history to select (just like Cmd+Tab on macOS) Tab history is tracked per-window so cycling stays scoped to the window with focus. No analytics, no remote calls, nothing leaves the Mac. 22s demo: https://youtu.be/oysvE06Ys-0

Hey hunters,
I built ReTab because Safari is the only major browser without a "go back to my last tab" gesture ā Chrome and Firefox got it years ago, and after a decade of Cmd+Tab muscle memory between apps I wanted the same for tabs.
One shortcut (default Cmd+E), two gestures:
- Tap ā instant flip between your two most recent tabs.
- Hold ā a Cmd+Tab-style picker shows your tab history. Release to commit,
Shift to reverse, arrows or mouse work too.
Per-window history. No analytics, no remote calls ā nothing leaves your
Mac. $1.99 one-time on the App Store, just hit 3.1 (multi-window aware,
arrow nav, click-to-switch).

3.2 shipped today.
A reader who uses VoiceOver emailed me last week. The picker had been unreadable to a screen reader the whole time ReTab has existed. I just hadn't checked.
An afternoon of labeling things properly and trimming a piece of UI text Safari was reading on every keypress. Now the picker reads tab titles aloud the way macOS Cmd+Tab does.

If you use a screen reader, please try 3.2 and tell me how it sounds.
I'd rather hear what's still broken than not hear.
