Overview

Choose where tabs appear, and which tab is focused when others disappear.

OPEN SOURCE • NO ADS • NO TRACKING Tabs open with flair, close with care — you're the one who steers them where. Tab Positioner lets you customize the position of new tabs and control which tab becomes active after you close one. Notice: * Enabling two or more similar tab-controlling extensions simultaneously may cause compatibility issues. Features: * New Tab Position: Decide where new tabs open. * Link Tab Position: Set different rules for tabs opened from links in the foreground or background. * Popup Position: Open popups as tabs, following the same rules as links. (Experimental) * Tab Activation: Choose which tab gets focus after you close one. * Sync Settings: Your tab position preferences sync across all your devices with Chrome's built-in sync feature. * Dark Mode: The extension automatically matches Chrome's dark mode. Permissions: * The "Read your browsing history" permission is used solely to detect whether a newly opened tab is the default blank New Tab (chrome://newtab) in order to enable the extension's features. No other browsing history is collected, requested, or accessed.
