This is garbage. I don't know how it got a 4.8 rating with 24 ratings. I just want tabs to open at the end, but it doesn't work 99% of the time. I searched on Google for the words "what is some recent news". I then opened CNN and NBC and both of those opened towards the end, but not the complete end. The opened before extension pages, etc. Then I opened up the Google News link and it opened directly after my current tab instead of at the end. This is now how it is supposed to work. Not good.

After closing a few tabs, 'source tab &/or Activated order' stops working; the right tab appears, after whatever tab, was closed. Please see if you can fix that issue.

Doesn't work as expected. Tab closing configured activate left tab, but activates different tabs, I still don't understand what system.
