I want ctrl-shift-tab and ctrl-tab activate tabs like browser: ctrl-shift-tab should activate the tab left to the active, ctrl-tab should activate the tab right to the active.

They do, plus by default it gives you two pieces of extra functionality as well:

it also pops up a “Document Switcher”, so that you’ve got more feedback on where it’s going and what it’s doing, and
it also gives “MRU” (most recently used) behavior, so that Ctrl+Tab, do something, then Ctrl+Tab again will take you back to the first tab, rather than blindly switching to some “next” tab

Both of those extras are user-configurable in the Settings > Preferences > MISC > Document Switcher (Ctrl+TAB) section of the settings.

the ☑ Enable checkbox will turn on and off the switcher; with the checkbox unchecked, it will go to the simple behavior you described; if checkmarked, it will allow the Doc Switcher to make your life easier.
the ☑ Enable MRU behavior will make the Document Switcher cycle through in order of most-recent to least-recent, instead of going purely left-to-right. So if you want the Document Switcher, but want it to only allow left/right rather than remembering last-accessed-order, turn off this checkmark.

This is all in the Online User Manual, as you can see from the links I provided.
