Always open new tabs immediately to the right of the active tab.

Always Right
Description from store

New tabs should always open to the immediate right of the current tab. And now they will.

Usually when I open new tabs, it's not because a lightning bolt struck, and I must switch from my current activity to a new and different one. Most of the time the new tab is directly related to what I'm currently doing, so when Firefox (or a Chromium-based browser) opens tabs at the end of 50 tabs, they're almost guaranteed to be far from the tabs I was working with. I then find myself hunting around for the tabs I was just at, sometimes trying long and RSI-inducing drag-and-drop operations to regroup things.

Sure, if I wanted to strictly manage things, I could always have separate tab groups in this tab set, but often my workflow is more organic than that, and I end up in this place, and I should be able to continue working with the software in the way that my mind expects it to work.

So maybe this isn't for you, but I'm Always Right.

No options page - you can't set anything. So you can't set which tab to activate when closing a tab.
You're gonna burn alright
love it, it is extremely useful for me who has a lot of tabs ❤️✌️

I finally found an extension that also moved tabs opened from external links (clicked from another app) to the right of the current tab! It would be nice to have more options for chained tab opening. Currently it "queues" tabs from left to right when serial-clicking which is convenient, then it resets the queue after some delay (next tab will be right of current one again) but I don't know what the delay is and cannot tune it.

Instant new fav ❤️

works as expected, even after Chrome's extensions slaughter due to the new v3 manifest works as an alternative for the `Open Tabs Next to Current` extension. I don't know why this is not a configurable feature in Chrome .....
Terega-Nui Arakino
Work as intended. This should be configurable by default in Chrome...
Mark Adelsheim
Works!
Jovan Toroman
It works.
Ozan ÖZEN
it works for Open New Tab After Current Tab alternative
Mark van der Waarde
Finally one that works after Chrome's Manifest v2 massacre. My thanks to the dev for restoring my sanity.
John Rhee
Works perfectly when using Ctrl+T or middle-clicking a link.

Doesn't work when I open several links from the same page; the first link opens to the right of the active link (as it should), the second link opens to the right of the first link, the third link opens to the right of the second link and so on.

simple, get the job done.
Laurent TAUPIAC
Works as design.
Hannes Grebin
Works like a charm. this is a good replacement for an extension that no longer works. Thank you so much.
Lar Al
Works poorly. It opens the first tab next to the current tab but then opens new tabs after the that tab and so on. FAIL!
Bar Horing
Thank you! I've been looking for a simple extension like this for a while, it makes my life a lot better now, thank you 🙏
Richard Penman
This should be the default setting
Robert Meerman
Does exactly what I want, which is place all new tabs next to the current one while preserving their order. If I have three tabs open now, ALPHA, BRAVO, and CHARLIE and my current tab is BRAVO when I open three new tabs they appear between BRAVO and CHARLIE. It helps to think of it as a tree: ALPHA BRAVO |-- New1 |-- New2 `-- New3 CHARLIE If I open another link while in BRAVO it will appear between New3 and CHARLIE.

Does not work. Even after a restart.

Works as described for opening tabs from favourites next to current, which is what I was looking for. Thanks
Frank Utne
Sort of works but not really. I wanted a replacement for 'Open Tabs Next to Current' since it stopped working. This extension does open the FIRST tab next to current tab but all subsequent tabs open after that and other subsequent tabs. Needs redesign.
Caitlin McElwee
Works
Callan McNulty
Does not work when opening links in a new tab. Only the first link clicked on a page opens next to the current tab.

works
Shawn Edmondson
Yay, since "Open New Tab After Current Tab" extension is deprecated apparently.
