For the record (because I just looked it up, as I also have this problem): it's ctrl+tab, but only if you enable "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" in Settings first.

Also, usually, ctrl + shift + tab goes the opposite way

Default behavior is for psychopaths.

I'm so confused every time I use a new browser.

Ok that's incredible. I'm gonna get so lost now I've changed that setting. Magnificent

It’s so odd to me that this isn’t the default behaviour for all browsers especially Edge. It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.

This works in edge. Alt+tab also cycles between 2 tabs in edge if a previos tab was selected, or between windows if not. Which annoys the hell out of me, going from email to edge, switching to the tab I need to copy from and expecting alt+tab to bring me back to email and instead just goes back to the tab I didn't want.

Alt+tab? What about ctrl+tab? What we were talking about…

To answer my own question, I did a bit of searching and it looks like ctrl+tab still only cycles to the next tab in Edge. There’s a few requests for it to cycle to previous tab like alt+tab but looking through the settings and stuff it still doesn’t look like an option.

Always happy to be proven wrong but it looks like it’s still not an option.

I replied too quick, and missed the recent used order of the op. Edge just cycles left to right with ctrl+tab I think. However, alt+tab actually would have been the solution for the oop at least in edge. Because it does go to your last used tab.
