Open New Tab Next to Active Tab

Version: Available in v3.1.0 and later

This setting controls where newly opened tabs are positioned in your tab bar. By default, this option is disabled, and new tabs open at the end of the tab bar.

How it Works

When this option is enabled:

  • New tabs will open immediately next to the currently active tab
  • This applies to all methods of opening new tabs (keyboard shortcuts, context menu, clicking links in new tabs)
  • The positioning behavior affects the browser's default tab opening behavior

When this option is disabled (default):

  • New tabs continue to open at the end of the tab bar
  • This maintains the standard browser behavior

Use Cases

This setting is useful when you want to:

  • Keep related tabs grouped together
  • Maintain context when opening new tabs from the current page
  • Organize your workflow around a specific tab sequence
