You may try my customized version of Vimium - Vimium C (https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c), and it supports filter in some tab-related commands:
# url=<an regexp starting with "^">
map xxx visitPreviousTab filter="url=^(?!chrome-extension)"
# you may also add other filters, like
map mmm closeOtherTabs filter="audible=true&muted=false"

Use case: I do probably 90% of my work on a Chromebook, and one of the things that threw me for a bit of a loop was that when switching between the Terminal (Linux apps terminal emulator) or Secure Shell (ssh app/extension) or the Crosh window (non-Linux apps shell), if I switch to a browser tab after being in one of these other "apps", hitting
^in Vimium brings me back to the shell window.... This isn't totally unexpected, because they ARE just browser windows, but they often havechrome-extension://URLs so I sort of expected they would be excluded from Vimium's navigation, but after looking at the code, it is just a simple hook to a browser function with no logic around WHAT the previous tab might be.The biggest issue with these
chrome-extension://URLs is that while Vimium can take me there, I can't use^after that because Vimium doesn't load in anychrome*://windows. So I end up having to find my actual previous tab, and then remember to navigate to the other tab I meant to open withTso get "around" thechrome-extension://window.I do like having these
chrome-extension://URLs available toTbecause it basically replaces Alt+Tab with a smarter frecency switcher (very similar to my rofi setup in Linux), but I wish they could be filtered from the^list.
