TabsPlus - Enhance Management of Your Chrome Tabs

TabsPlus is a Chrome extension designed to upgrade the way you manage your browser tabs. With features like determining the focus after closing a tab, setting the default behavior for a new tab and pinning your current tab for the 'last selected' behavior, TabsPlus brings you greater control of your browsing experience. Please note: full support for global keyboard shortcuts is not currently available, and it may not be feasible to open all new tabs in the background.

Any chance you're willing to open source the code so I can help get it running again? Loved this thing.

I LOVE this extension and was wondering if you'll update it for the new CHROME restrictions. Its currently disabled by chrome and will not run.

Does the job well, for me (Windows 11, Vivaldi 7). No, I am not an expert, but I cannot imagine what harm such an extension woukd do to World Peace such that Google will feel compellled to ban this extension soon.
