Extension summary
Open Tabs Next To Current
Open tabs that would normally be opened last next to the current one. Tabs that are being re-opened are thus not included. You can use Ctrl-Y
(Ctrl-Shift-Y
on Windows) to open a new tab at the default location.
Note for Chrome
Keyboard shortcuts are not automatically set up. You need to do that manually on the extension page in settings.
Note for Firefox
Tabs that are opened by clicking on links are opened at the default location. You can change the setting browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
in about:config
if you want even those to be opened right next to the current.
