Switch To Previous Active Tab & Reload All Tabs

Perhaps one of the best features to ever be shipped to early iterations of web browsers remains the tabbed interface, a layout structure that has also been implemented to various other applications ranging from file managers, word processors and image editing suites. This functionality can be taken a step further in terms of usefulness through add-ons such as Switch To Previous Active Tab & Reload All Tabs.

The more powerful computers get in terms of RAM capacity and processing capabilities, the more affordable and widespread their upgrades get, leading to power-user features making their way into the mainstream and becoming accessible enough for all. One example is multitasking efficiency being at an all-time high, allowing the use of concomitant browser tabs in large numbers.

As they pile up in order to provide users with the necessary information to craft essays and research papers, it can be difficult to keep track of their separate contexts. While tab grouping extensions can mitigate that issue, the add-on at hand may better suit a slew of particular use-cases.

When comparing two conflicting resources in an effort to establish the truthfulness of certain concepts, switching from one open tab to another may feel tedious for those seeking to complete time-bound assignments. As a result, this extension seeks to provide users whose workflows rely on mouse-based interaction with a one-click way to switch between the active tab and the last visited one.

The module features a highly customizable vertical list with a tabular view of the open tabs for even faster toggling and easier previewing of otherwise hidden tab titles. Since browsers are still programmed to conserve energy and RAM, some tabs can become inactive after a certain period of time, which is why the add-on also lets users refresh all open websites at once from the tab bar context menu or extension button.

If your internet-focused workflow requires frequent switching between multiple or two tabs specifically for making precise comparisons on a setup limited by a single laptop screen, Switch To Previous Active Tab & Reload All Tabs should fit your extension requirements well.
