Always Right is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension that ensures new tabs open immediately to the right of your current tab. Unlike default browser behavior where new tabs often open at the end, Always Right keeps your workflow organized by placing new tabs in intuitive proximity, reducing the need to search or rearrange tabs. This extension is ideal for users who work with many tabs and want a more predictable and efficient tab management experience.

While there are some known limitations due to browser extensions API constraints, such as automatic scrolling behavior with many tabs, Always Right enhances your browsing productivity and maintains your mental flow. For more advanced help or to contribute, the project is open on GitHub.

User reviews

Users appreciate 'Always Right' for opening new tabs immediately to the right, correcting Firefox's default behavior. The add-on is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness by long-term users. However, multiple users report it no longer works reliably, especially with tab groups or when opening links in new tabs, and it seems unmaintained with no recent updates. Some experience tabs opening inconsistently rather than directly to the right, diminishing its usefulness.

Pros

Effectively opens new tabs directly to the right of the current tab as intended.
Easy to install and use with immediate results.
Appreciated by longtime users for maintaining desired tab behavior.
Provides a solution to Firefox's default tab opening behavior, which many find inconvenient.

Cons

Does not work properly with tab groups.
Fails to function when opening links in new tabs in some cases.
Seems to be unmaintained, as it hasn't been updated for about a year, leading to inconsistent performance.
New tabs sometimes open anywhere to the right, not immediately adjacent as expected.

Recent reviews

Doesn't work anymore. It's now useless. With 10 tabs open on my right, it can appear anywhere in there and not on my immediate right. It looks like developer gave up on it since it's been about a year since it's last update.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Always Right requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Always Right has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
