Wow, that's an amazingly polished extension! I couldn't help but sniff out the [1] github link, and noticed you were using vue.js, I used vue too with my extension [2] Newsit, check it out to see how you can deploy to both Chrome and Firefox (as the extension APIs are almost standardised). The only issue I found, was that the popup switcher doesn't show up on the new tab page, which makes it a little confusing.

In Show HN: A browser extension that makes switching between tabs easier
Hello HN! The Popup Tab Switcher is an attempt to bring the power of your system app switcher to a browser. The extension shows you a popup with last active tabs when you press its shortcut (Alt + Y by default). You cycle through them by holding Alt and pressing Y. By releasing the Alt key you switch to the chosen tab. This is like switching between apps in Windows (Alt + Tab) and in macOS (Cmd + Tab). Also, when you close an active tab, you will be placed to the previously active one. It is more helpful than the default Chrome's behaviour, which activates the nearest tab. You can delegate the default switching between tabs (Ctrl + Tab) to the extension, see how https://github.com/dvdvdmt/popup-tab-switcher#replace-defaul... Thanks for you time, any feedback is welcome!
