I don't see how this will apply to browser tabs reliably. Are you doing it based on page url or domain?

Page url has the obvious shortfall of being so rarely used for a long amount of time. It might be used for an hour, or perhaps a day, or in some rare cases where you do interact with a single url for a long period of time, but those cases will be few and far between.

Domain seems too generic. If I'm on HN then I may flip to gmail frequently as I work through the day, but that doesn't mean that when I'm in Gmail I want to always tab to HN, perhaps it's to my blog, or work's admin section.

I guess actually my issue is that he uses a single pair example.

If I'm on HN, then gmail would probably be a likely tab target, but on Gmail, the options of targets greatly expands. HN would be at top because of recent use, but the other sites mentioned would also be likely targets.

So then we suffer from the frequent order changing that was cited as a downfall of the MRU method.

Am I wrong here?
