User reviews
It 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
