Open Tabs Next to Current: A Chromes Extension for Tab Management

Open Tabs Next to Current is a Chrome extension designed to improve your browser's tab management. Instead of opening new tabs at the end of the tab bar, this extension opens new tabs immediately next to your current one. Ideal for workflows that involve numerous tabs, it allows you to keep related tabs clustered and helps you maintain a clutter-free tab bar. For tabs opened by clicking on links and tabs reopened, they remain at their default location, but these settings can be manually adjusted.

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!

While this works flawlessly. I have one issue. as i have around 30 tabs it opens in the next tab but scrolls to the last. please fix so that it stays at the same position since the next tab will be just around the current tab.
