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!
