Child Tab Next

Works well. Just what I needed, thanks! :)

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.

stopped working

Check out the new version coming soon (2.1) - that should get things working again.

I've appreciated this extension, but it stopped working recently.

I liked that it was lighter on memory than "Tab to the Next" (the extension it is inspired by), but it doesn't make tabs opened from bookmarks open to the right like Tab to the Next did. Would be nice to have that option. I like the consistency of all my new tabs always opening to the right of the current one. If anyone else is in the same situation as me, there is another extension called "Tab Position Options" that does this. It's also got a lot of other options you can tinker with if you ... Show more

I want to use this but it says the extension can read your browser history, why would it need to do that?!

The extension needs the "tabs" permission in order to check the URL of each new tab - it simply compares that URL to the "chrome://newtab/" special URL to determine if it's a new "blank" tab or something else. The extension also checks the URL of the tab you're opening from, so it can also shift duplicate tabs in the same way. Again, it only compares URLs - nothing is stored or transmitted.

Works perfectly and does exactly what it's designed to do. I've been looking so long for such solution and none of the alternatives like TabsPlus and Tabs Position Options could do it. Thanks!

No longer works

Dwayne, I've replied to your support request - I believe the problem should be resolved. Please give further info if it's still not working.

Thank you! I've been trying to get this functionality for a while now and this does exactly what I want.
