Open New Tab Here is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing workflow by allowing you to open new tabs directly next to the current one, instead of at the far right of all tabs. Easily access the feature using a button next to the address bar or configure keyboard shortcuts for quick opening:

Windows & Linux: Alt + T (new tab), Alt + Shift + T (new tab in background)
macOS: Ctrl + T (new tab), Ctrl + Shift + T (new tab in background)

You can customize these shortcuts via chrome://extensions/shortcuts. This extension streamlines tab management and keeps your workspace organized. The source code is open source and available on GitHub.

User reviews

Users appreciate that 'Open New Tab Here' reliably opens new tabs adjacent to the current one with customizable shortcuts, improving workflow and tab management without intrusive permissions. However, it has compatibility issues on some browsers and older Chrome versions, and offers limited customization beyond keyboard shortcuts. Overall, it's praised as a simple, effective, open-source extension that fills a gap in Chrome's functionality.

Cons

Does not work on older versions of Chrome (e.g., Chrome 90) or some alternative browsers like Kiwi after updates.
Lacks some customization options such as changing the background color of new tabs.
Cannot override default standard shortcuts automatically; users have to manually change shortcuts in Chrome settings.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open New Tab Here does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Open New Tab Here has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
