★ Tab Thumbnails Switcher is a native extension ★

   Tab Thumbnails Switcher brings out the power of Chrome's native
   extensibility to gain essential advantages over regular extensions:

   ✔ The tab menu is implemented in machine code, which allows it to
       pop up instantly without annoying loading delays.

   ✔ It can redefine Ctrl+Tab shortcut for switching between tabs.

   ✔ It doesn't inject code into every page you visit, thus avoiding
       sluggish page loads and conserving CPU and memory.

   ✔ It works on ALL tabs. Either PDF documents, the New Tab
       Page, extension pages, Chrome pages, you name it.

It used to work with Edge, but no longer does. When you hit CTRL+TAB it reverts to the usual behaviour. You can set a hotkey under "activate extension" but the other hot key activations are missing and can't be set anymore. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, including the additional native component, but it doesn't work. I don't see it in the Edge store, so I guess it's not officially supported?

Its ok, sadly, it only shows thumbnails for the last visited tabs. If i Middle click a link , i wont show thumbnail, only icon and with low res, i wanted to see all the thumbnails, even if it uses more ram.

Should be the default behavior. Chrome is out of the box a broken web browser in regards to Ctrl+Tab.
