Setup
In Safari, open Settings > Extensions. Turn on TabBack, then click “Always Allow on Every Website.”
TabBack processes your tab data entirely on your device and never sends it anywhere. The app connects only to Apple’s servers to handle in-app purchases and does not connect to any other servers. You can confirm this with a network monitoring tool such as LuLu.
Open TabBack Settings, then set your shortcut.
If the shortcut does not work, restart Safari while TabBack is running. Then restart TabBack while Safari is running.
Usage
- Press the shortcut once to return to the previous tab.
- Hold the modifier keys (⌃, ⌥, or ⌘) and press the remaining key to cycle through recent tabs.
- Press the reverse shortcut to cycle through recent tabs in reverse order.
- Press Esc to cancel tab switching.
- Use the pointer to select a tab in the switcher.
