Manage your tabs
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; ;-)

- (2023-09-03) Ivan Koba: установлена последняя версия Chrome. Версия 116.0.5845.141 (Официальная сборка), (64 бит) работает после настройки параметров расширения Open a new tab in: foreground
- (2023-06-05) Sébastien LAOUT: 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?
- (2022-10-24) Андрей: This extension doesn't work in last version of Chrome .
- (2022-09-24) foobar johnny: This is very useful, a good supplementary of chrome, thanks.
- (2022-05-26) Сергей Друзь: Doesn't work Chrome last version.
- (2021-09-02) neracn: 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.
- (2021-08-13) Андрей Work: Не работает. Перестал работать летом 2021 года.
- (2021-06-05) Kevin Stern: Barely works. Have to reenable options several times a day, and every time I restart Chrome.
- (2021-05-31) kenken noname: 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
- (2021-05-26) Masa K: Chrome91で正常に動作しなくなりました。
- (2021-03-05) Newtomic: 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.
- (2020-11-09) Work Station: Отлично! Это расширение хорошо тем, что новые вкладки из ссылок открывает по настройкам, а новую пустую вкладку через "+" открывает последней, как и предполагается.
- (2020-10-13) Joma Bastos G P: Great extension! It is important to study it in order to be able to apply it productively. Works perfectly on Chrome 86.
- (2020-03-05) Vinicius de Moraes Ribeiro: Great in theory, unfortunately as of 2020 it does not work. =/
- (2019-12-28) Alexander Olsson: 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.
- (2019-12-21) 강규최: Great, Thanks
- (2019-12-19) Suzanne Darling: Settings / options are reset to Default on a daily basis, making this completely useless!
- (2019-06-15) IsSac: 대박.. 크롬 필수 프로그램 등극!! 새탭 넘나편함 ㅠㅠ 더불어 핀 고정은 예술!!
- (2019-03-03) 点赞视频: 作者,你好!能不能加一个功能:Chrome关闭最后一个标签,不会关闭浏览器?
- (2018-12-29) BaSsim BG: Ain't working fully!
- (2018-11-02) Tony Sim: Does not work at all. Set to open next right. No effect. Set to open next left. No effect.
- (2018-08-24) Savvas Savvaki: It works very good, is very light, I like it.
- (2018-06-21) Marta Musiedlak: Bez wątpienia, jeden z najlepszych dodatków. Prosty a bardzo funkcjonalny. Polecam
- (2018-06-21) Prosty, a zarazem niesamowicie ułatwiający poruszanie się pomiędzy zakładkami dodatek. Polecam.
- (2018-06-15) Nikolay Teplov: Very usefull extention
- (2018-05-25) The Sakujo: Works as it should!
- (2018-05-08) Graham Jones: 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
- (2018-04-04) Devon Dillenbeck: Love this extension...Google should buy it and integrate the core concepts into chrome proper.
- (2018-01-30) Tom Duckworth: Didn't seem to work very well. Wanted to move my default new tabs to open as the first tab. Sometime it wouldn't do anything and open new tabs on the right, sometime it would be the first on the left, and sometimes it would do the second on the left. Sometimes it would open them to the right of tab I used to open the new page from. The inconsistency became a pain. It may have not worked due to getting confused if i open tabs and then reorder their position.
- (2017-11-15) Tim Hi: DOESNT WORK!! Plain and simple. ugh
- (2017-11-01) Chris Vydas: this extension is an absolute mess. the options might as well not even be there as chrome takes on a mind of its own with this thing installed. removed it.
- (2017-10-23) Prashant kulkarni: best extension for background and positioning of tabs
- (2017-07-14) John Ball: Hasn't been updated since 23 June 2013, which is probably why it doesn't work with recent Chrome browsers.
- (2017-06-27) NanoPolymer: Will work again after I deactivate the extension and then again activated it.
- (2017-05-26) Roman Tayursky: Замечательный плагин! Именно этого мне не хватало!
- (2017-05-12) Bojan RELJIC: After closing go to: Last Used Tab - DOES NOT WORK !!! OSX 10.12.4 (16E195), Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit)
- (2017-04-02) Ewan Kho: Why so many negative reviews, this one works!!!
- (2016-06-20) Mike Brown: Doesn't work currently, and hasn't been updated in three years. I got what I needed from 'Tab Position Options' extension instead.
- (2016-06-11) orçun güleç: süper thank you
- (2016-05-10) Pin tab functionality seems to be useless - I tell it to pin tabs and then can immediately close it.
- (2016-05-03) Ben Shirley: Just what I was looking for, but the jump to last used tab when closing a tab function doesn't seem to work for me.
- (2016-04-16) zeppy13131: It'd be great if this worked more consistently. When I press Ctrl+T to create a new tab, or hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab, it often opens in a completely random place. I'm giving the developer 2 stars for doing the project. I hope they can do more work on it.
