User reviews
Users appreciate the extension for reliably opening new blank tabs immediately adjacent to the current tab via shortcuts, significantly improving tab management. Many praise its simplicity, lack of unnecessary permissions, and customization of shortcuts. However, common issues include its inability to open new tabs adjacent when opening links from bookmarks bar or external apps and limited control over tab ordering with multiple tabs. Users desire more advanced features like queuing and left-side opening as well as better bookmark integration, indicating room for future enhancements.
Pros
- Conveniently opens new tabs adjacent to the current tab, improving browsing experience
- Allows customization of shortcut keys for opening new tabs next to the current one
- Works consistently with links on web pages
- Useful for managing tabs especially with tab groups becoming more popular
- Lightweight and doesn’t require unnecessary permissions
Cons
- Does not open new tabs adjacent to the current tab when links/bookmarks are opened from bookmarks bar or external apps
- Lacks options to control behavior when opening multiple tabs from the same page, such as queuing or timing
- Only opens new blank tabs adjacent to current tab, does not support opening multiple links/bookmarks immediately adjacent
- No support across different profiles without installing separately
- No options for opening new tabs to the left or advanced tab management

Andrii, 2025-03-31Does not work for external apps, then the link/tab does not open right next to the active tab, it opens at the end of all tabs in the window.

André Deiß, 2025-03-29It does work, but as many other Open tab to right extensions, I cannot control behavior when opening multiple tabs via hyperlinks from the same page. In this case, it will queue all the new tabs from left to right (so if you open 3 tabs from the same page via hyperlinks, the 3rd one will be 3 places to the right).
It would be nice to have options such as:
- always open to the immediate right
- queue tabs in order of hyperlinks click, but refresh the queue after some timer (duration parameterable in options) and restart opening new tab to the immediate right after that time
