Summary

Tab Deque

A webextension for better tab handling. Inspired by Opera 12 and its Activate the last active tab setting, which is not the same as most recently used tab or last tab selected other extensions provide.

Most users will recognize the behaviour from the way windows are handled on their Desktop. When using Windows(with stacking disabled) or for example Xfce under Linux, opening a window adds it to the taskbar, clicking another one will focus that one, closing or minimizing will bring the previous one back to focus. This extension will do that and more.
