Child Tab Next

Force new/duplicated tabs (but not those opened via links) to open next to their opener, not at the very end.

Child Tab Next - Organize Your Chrome Tabs Efficiently

"Child Tab Next" is a Google Chrome extension designed to improve tab organization by forcing new and duplicated tabs to open to the right of the current tab, rather than at the end of the tab bar. Inspired by the functionality of other tab management tools, this extension enhances your browsing experience by ensuring related tabs remain together. With updates for reliability and compatibility with manifest v3, it's perfect for users looking for a more organized way to manage their tabs.

Thank you for developing this extension on chrome. I recently swtiched from Firefox to Chrome since my firefox was bugging, and I realized that chrome does not have the convient way of "ctrl+left click on + sign" to open a new tab next to my current tab. Now I found this extension on StackExchange and it does the job! Hopefully the extension is secured and you won't rob my information haha, but other than that thank you.
