Features:
- choose, where will be the focus after closing a tab;
- choose default behaviour for a new tab;
- you can "pin" current tab, so it will not be used for "last selected" behaviour;

Notes:
- unfortunately, for today there is no full support for global keyboard shortcuts;
- I'm not sure, it's possible to open every new tab in background;
- still thinking about those two annoying problems; ;-)

Block Sole 2025-03-04: Any chance you're willing to open source the code so I can help get it running again? Loved this thing.
Matthew Hicks 2025-03-04: I LOVE this extension and was wondering if you'll update it for the new CHROME restrictions. Its currently disabled by chrome and will not run.
jsosmd 2025-02-28: Does the job well, for me (Windows 11, Vivaldi 7). No, I am not an expert, but I cannot imagine what harm such an extension woukd do to World Peace such that Google will feel compellled to ban this extension soon.
William Burdett 2024-11-14: Love this extension, sad to see google making chrome worse by disabling this.
Artemi Lebedev 2024-05-06: For some reason sometime it forcefully switches to the background tab
Chris Cullen 2023-12-21: Very helpful extension. Enable it across all my PC's I use. Question - Does the 'Last used tab' function in the right-click menu have a shortcut key?
Ivan Koba 2023-09-03: установлена последняя версия Chrome. Версия 116.0.5845.141 (Официальная сборка), (64 бит) работает после настройки параметров расширения Open a new tab in: foreground
Sébastien LAOUT 2023-06-05: I'm using it to open tabs on the right of the current tab:works. But does not work with grouped tabs. I wanted an option to open a tab in the current tab-group. It opens the tab on the right, but outside the current tab-group. So it's useless. Do you think you could make it work in the current group?
Андрей 2022-10-24: This extension doesn't work in last version of Chrome .

neracn 2021-09-02: I like the plugin except one case following. I set the new tab in next right and foreground. When I clicked the plus button, the new tab was created at the right side of current tab, it's OK. But the tabs list on the top was scrolled to the last tab. I don't know how to focus on the new tab.

Kevin Stern 2021-06-05: Barely works. Have to reenable options several times a day, and every time I restart Chrome.

kenken noname 2021-05-31: 閉じたときに右のタブに移動するのが機能しなくなりました。ほかを探します。 91.0.4472.77
Masa K 2021-05-26: Chrome91で正常に動作しなくなりました。
Newtomic 2021-03-05: Work's, but have some weird problems, but those are somewhat tolerable, the real problem for me is it does not like the "Long Press New Tab" extension.

Work Station 2020-11-09: Отлично! Это расширение хорошо тем, что новые вкладки из ссылок открывает по настройкам, а новую пустую вкладку через "+" открывает последней, как и предполагается.
Joma Bastos G P 2020-10-13: Great extension! It is important to study it in order to be able to apply it productively. Works perfectly on Chrome 86.

Vinicius de Moraes Ribeiro 2020-03-05: Great in theory, unfortunately as of 2020 it does not work. =/
Alexander Olsson 2019-12-28: Well this is not what I wanted. When you open a new website with a lot of content you want that tab in the background for later reading as you continue to browse the main tab. BUT when you open a new empty tab you want it directly highlighted BC when you open an empty tab you probably wanna use it straight away. This changed with the latest Chrome update in dec 2019.

Graham Jones 2018-05-08: It kind of works. But the option to go back to the tab last used doesn't work. Plus this extension was last updated in 2013. Looks like I need to find an alternative
Devon Dillenbeck 2018-04-04: Love this extension...Google should buy it and integrate the core concepts into chrome proper.
