Bug Report for Tab Position Manager Issue Description: When using two windows, and there are more than two tabs open in the second window, closing that window causes the "Activate tab after active tab is closed" behavior to be applied to the remaining window. As a result, the active tab in the first window is unexpectedly switched. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open two browser windows. 2. Ensure the second window has more than two tabs open. 3. Set the "Activate tab after active tab is closed" behavior in the settings. 4. Close the second window. 5. The "Activate tab after active tab is closed" behavior is incorrectly applied to the remaining window, causing the active tab in the first window to switch unexpectedly.

Works exactly like how I wanted and unlike other similar extensions it has a few extra options, which some will definitely appreciate. I tried a handful of others and ultimately I had to go with Tab Position Manager because new tabs opened from the same tab always open to the right of the original tab (so O, 3, 2, 1) not to the right of the one already opened (so O, 1, 2, 3, like in New Adjacent Tab). This should be a toggle in both extensions but it's not in either. UPDATE: As others have said this makes a mess of your Tab Groups, I had 7 tab groups holding ~600 tabs, now I have 2, 1 holding 1 tab and the other holding 599, so yeah, thanks but no thanks.

A simple, lightweight, effective extension that does exactly what it claims. Installed for the first time on 07/29/2025 and it works perfectly for me. EDIT: Never mind, initially open on right worked but now all of a sudden it doesn't, later in the same day.

5 Star!!!! - 2025-8-18 11:06:57 new reviews: "New tab position" = "Right of current tab" no longer work for me on the latest Chrome (Version 139.0.7258.128 (Official Build) (64-bit)) - Jun 26, 2025: I used to rely on "Tab Position Options," but unfortunately it doesn't follow modern best practices for Chrome extensions and seems outdated or buggy in recent versions. Big thanks to the new developer of "Tab Position Manager" — this extension is exactly what I’ve been needing! It solves the issue perfectly and works smoothly with current versions of Chrome. Really appreciate the effort in creating a clean and functional solution where others fell short. Keep up the great work!

It works but in MS Edge when you close and then re-open the browser, the tab groups are ungrouped.
