• New Tab Position - Choose where new tabs appear (first, last, right/left of current, or default)
• New Tab Background - Open new tabs in the background without losing focus on current tab
• Tab Closing Behavior - Control which tab activates after closing (first, last, right/left, activation order, or default)
• Privacy-Focused - All settings stored locally, no data collection
• Lightweight & Fast - Minimal permissions, maximum performance
• Manifest V3 Compliant - Built with latest Chrome security standards
• Open Source - Source code available on GitHub
CURRENT STATUS:
This is an early release focusing on core functionality. Some features from the original extension are still being implemented. We're actively working to bring full feature parity while maintaining Manifest V3 compliance.
