Finally I found the extension to make Chromium desktop and Kiwi mobile browsers to act right! When I cose a tab it goes back to the last tab I was on. Hallelujah! I will back up this extension .crx file (use “CRX Extractor/Downloader“ extension, download as .zip, and rename to .crx in file browser), and my Kiwi app apk file and stay on old Chrome forever if they make this extension obsolete. In the extension's options I occasionally have to toggle “Activated Tab After Last Tab Closing“ to another option, and then back to “In Activated Order“, to get it to reactivate again. Some function seems to override it periodically. l blame Chrome. I also love being able to force Kiwi to open extension-option-tabs next to the current tab (another Chrome setting that should be default!). Under “New Tab“, click “Add“ and set each of these addresses, WITHOUT quotes, as “Right of current Tab“ & “Forground“: For Kiwi: “kiwi-extension://*“ or For Chrome: “chrome-extension://*“ If you want all other new tabs to open this way Add “https://*“ and “http://*“
