LIMITATIONS:
* When the current/displayed tab is clicked, Chrome ignores that event and does nothing;
other methods to trigger Tab-Flipping are required; click the extension icon or
type a shortcut (to customize, see Instructions below; also provided during install)
* All extensions cannot prevent other extensions from altering tab-related activity;
to resolve any issues, see test Instructions below
