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.

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.
