- (2023-11-03) Terega-Nui Arakino: Does what it is supposed to do correctly. Simple functionalities with simple interface but clearly a must have. I don't understand why those settings are not by default into Chrome.
- (2023-09-15) Leland Whitlock: It does what it is supposed to do during a current session. But as soon as the browser restarts the tabs get set in reverse order except if you say had the active tab in the middle then only the tabs on the right of that active tab get reversed. It would be nice if it could be fixed because when it works it is great. Finally, after writing this review, I found a replacement in Tab Position Customizer - Modified. It does everything right with no issues this far.
- (2023-09-14) Amine Rassam: Exactly what I need
- (2023-08-12) BeHappyBeVegan: Perfect. Simple to use and it works. And unlike two other similar extensions I tried earlier my virus scanner gives ii a pass.
- (2022-05-08) Russell Davis: No loger works consistently.
- (2022-02-02) Alan Brandt: Using Brave browser. Happy to report that SimpleTabOrder functioned properly on install without any issues... and hope it continues to. Thank you!
- (2021-11-11) AsinW Wan: 简单、实用
- (2021-08-26) 左之場備鎚: Good working! Thank you. If "Tab Position Customizer - Modified" is not working, try this app.
- (2021-08-09) Lloyd Dunamis: Works as intended, sortof. Definitely lacks other New Tab positioning options (i.e. leave the behaviour of "totally new tab via CTRL+T and pressing of "+" icon in the tab bar" untouched), and has no workaround for breaking Tab groups when relaunching at least Chrome v91.
- (2021-08-09) 采火: 機能自体は期待通りに動作します、そのこと自体はとても良いのですが。 Google Chromeを起動または再起動するたびにすべてのタブを強制的に読み込もうとします、タブを大量に開いた状態でこの現象に見舞われると、動作に不具合が出るので修正して欲しい。
- (2021-08-05) Emma's Mom: Fails to even open.
- (2021-07-31) Arpad Orfi: Activating wrong tab if the closed tab was moved beforehand. After closing a tab, not always the correct tab is activated. If I move a tab to another position, this seems to make the extension not working correctly. If you move a tab manually, then the extension doesn't work at all, at least if it is set to open new tabs to the right and activate tab to the left when closing. Opening a new tab opens at the original position from where you have moved your tab, and closing the tab activates the tab that WAS left BEFORE you have moved your tab manually. Maybe to code could be modified to execute an invisibly quick CTRL+PgUp, CTRL+PgDn keypress sequence to change the position of the tab back and forth, ensuring that the extension is well aware of the position of the active tab in relation to other tabs even in case the tab was moved manually.
- (2021-07-14) Raiden Roy: Pretty much does what it advertises. The only reason I'm giving it a 4-star rating is that I tend to change the tab order behavior often so I think instead of opening the setting page it would be convenient to just add all the settings in a popup. so whenever I have to change the tab order. I need to just click the extension badge and voila I can instantly change the tab order behavior without even opening the setting page. it would be a time-saving feature please I request you to add this feature. P.S. Thank you for making & maintaining it.
- (2021-06-07) The Sakujo: The only working extension to get the productive behavior of new tabs at the end and highlighting the tab to the left after closing. Thanks
- (2021-06-07) AAA OA (かぼちゃ頭): Chrome91でこれ系の拡張機能が軒並み動作不良で諦めてたところ、SimpleTabOrderが対応しててやっと新規タブがジャンプしまくるストレスから解放されました。ありがとうございます。
- (2021-06-06) Vick Rollins: Feedback a BUG. For example, when you close Chrome, some tabs are not closed. Every time you start Chrome, all the tabs that are not closed will be affected by the position of the plug-in when the TAB is opened. The position of the TAB will change and reverse.
- (2021-06-05) Kevin Stern: Fails at it's own design: Does not move to the tab to the right of a closed tab. Maybe if there was a way to save option changes?
- (2021-06-05) ju Orange: 太感谢了!被91版快折腾疯了!标签页乱跑
- (2021-06-04) Livio Flores: Funciona, que no es poco!!
- (2021-06-04) Torsten Biller: simple & functional! works with latest chrome update Version 91.0.4472.77
- (2021-05-31) Kilo Sierra: This is the only Tab related extension that works with Chrome Version 91.0.4472.77.
- (2021-05-31) Hung Vu: I use it to open tabs right next to the current tab, and it works great for me on both MacOS and Windows/Linux. Initially, it didn't work if I immediately open a new tab after closing a tab. After I close a tab, chrome switches to another tab, and the extension doesn't seem to know about the recently-switched-to tab so it opens new tabs at the far right. This can be fixed by setting the 'After tab close' position as 'go to last active tab' instead of 'default'.
- (2021-05-29) luck yu: 新版Edge可用,很棒!
- (2021-05-29) 玥白: 感谢更新支持91内核
- (2021-05-28) Chowee Claude: Thanks for the new update, it works perfectly again (after the really bad recent Chrome update)
- (2021-05-28) Adam Tran: Don't usually write reviews, but after Chrome updated to ver 91, all the tab order extension didn't work properly anymore except this one.
- (2021-05-28) T W: After today's update (2021-05-27), it has a problem with sorting tabs and grouping tabs - it spreads them randomly and ungroups groups each time chrome is launched. Before this update this extension was great. At the moment I have to uninstall.
- (2021-03-05) Newtomic: Trial fase, but it's working good.
- (2021-02-11) Micheal Espinola: No longer works (doesn't save settings)
- (2020-12-11) Franz Schöller: Hat mal funktioniert - seit einiger Zeit leider nicht mehr. Die Einstellungen werden nicht gespeichert, daher wertlos. Schade, dass das nicht behoben wird, war jahrelang brauchbar und hat getan, was es sollte.
- (2020-09-17) C S: Very good, easy to use and simple to operate
- (2020-03-17) Ivan Van Laningham: Behaves inconsistently. Opens tabs at left position (default) about 50% of the time instead of desired right position.
- (2018-11-07) Walter Kalweit: es tut leider NICHT das was es vorgeben möchte zu tun :(
- (2018-06-19) Steve Vig: Didn't change tab order consistently.
- (2018-01-05) Elisei Kulikovsky: Does what it should. But this extension (and others of this kind: Tab Position Options, Tab Position Customizer 2) has an incompatibility with Session Buddy. When reopening saved sessions tabs open in reversed order if Position option in SimpleTabOrder is set to "position right of current tab".
- (2017-10-22) Rogerio M. Souza: O melhor para manter as tabs em ordem!
- (2017-08-02) Yin Cognyto: Perfect - it has exactly the 3 main tab features that I missed, coming from Firefox and TabMix Plus. The rest of TabMix Plus features are either not that important or difficult to achieve in Chrome.
- (2017-06-18) Braden Dodge: It often fails to enforce the one thing it is supposed to and opens new tabs in the default behavior instead of what is set in the options (open new tabs at far right, at end of tab row)
- (2017-05-25) Shu Nie: i like tab order but i want more order options like tab mix plus in firefxo eg. abc->a[123]bc
- (2017-05-07) Liu Lao: 还不错!但功能还是少了点
- (2017-04-26) Feng Lin: i think i get it the function,nice try.
- (2017-04-03) Rick Schieck: I have only been using this extension for a few hours and I LOVE it. My biggest pet peeve with Chrome was that whenever I would open a new tab via a link it would never go to that new tab. I would always have to click it myself. Also sometimes a new tab would end up being at the end of my tabs but not accessible unless I used the history or the 'Keepin Tabs manager'. But not any more. Now with this great extension it goes right to the new tab! WooHoo!
- (2015-02-05) Bram Wolfe: Nice extension that helps manage tab behavior. After awhile I went back to the default Chrome tabs, but if I ever want to change I know I can use this extension :)
