One of Windows’ best and oldest features is the alt+tab app switcher. It’s as good as it is because it shows thumbnails of open programs in the switcher and by mashing the tab key you can select the window you want to open and go straight to it. Ctrl+tab tab switching should work like that. Firefox still uses a similar UI for their tab switcher. It’s great. Google, however, thought that just cycling through tabs in order of appearance was good enough. I would love for Brave to give desktop users a true thumbnail tab switcher when toggling ctrl+tab. (At least you allow for cycling in recently used order, and God bless you for that.)
