+Introduction
+============
+
+`chrome_mru` is a small (<50kb) Windows application that run in the trailbar.
+
+Its goal is to enable you to use CTRL+TAB in Google Chrome with the Most Recently Used Tab behavior (and not the default next/previous tab).
+
+Installation
+============
+
+* [Download](https://github.com/downloads/acemtp/chrome_mru/chrome_mru.exe) the Windows binary (or recompile it with Visual Studio C++ Express 2008)
+* There's no install, it's just a standalone program, put it somewhere (c:\bin) and double click on it
+* Install the [Recent Tabs](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ocllfmhjhfmogablefmibmjcodggknml) Google Chrome extension
+* Go to the `Recent Tabs` settings and set the `Shortcut key` to `CLTR+~` (the key above the `Tab` key)
+
+How it works
+============
+
+It's a very dumb program I coded in a few hours. It detects if the focused windows contains "Google Chrome" in the title and if yes,
+`chrome_mru` catch `CTRL+TAB` key before Google Chrome and instead generates a `CTRL+~` key so it calls the `Recent Tabs` extension to switch in the MRU behavior.
+
+It works fine for me but it really needs more iteration to be great. If some people find it useful, I'll spend more time on it. All contributions are welcome!
