Open tab just on the right of current one #217

Open HikariWS opened 4 years ago

HikariWS commented 4 years ago

I feel it's more comfortable this way. I used to set Tab Mix Plus to do that on good old FireFox.

When I'm on a page with many links, I Ctrl-click all those I wanna open. I do that on the order I wanna read them. If on each link clicked it opens just on the right, the first ones will go to the far right and the last ones will be on the left. Then I just go to the far right and start reading. When I close a tab, I go to its left sibling, so I follow the same order I used to open them.

I don't get why modern FireFox and Chromium inverted that order, and place each tab on the far right. That inverts the order and it's much worse. When you have the time, add the feature and option to choose where each new tab (Ctrl-click and new tab) will show up!

I'd love to be able to develop and help :) Sadly Chromium extension isn't on my skills lol

@HikariWS :D

I do have to tell you that Chromium extension development was also not my forte when I started --- I learned as I went along :) .

Anyway, if some of your friends have worked with JavaScript application development, please tell them about TabFern --- maybe one of them could work on this feature!

lol yeah, I mean I'd need to learn it :D

Sadly my friends aren't good at all on developing, anything x.x

Anyway, good news! I finally had some time available - which I'm also using to come back to post I did on many forums and reply them x.x - and installed Vivaldi.

In a few hours using it, it feels more polished and faster than Brave, and I'm srsly considering switch it for my primary browser. TabFern works gracefully on it, and it opens tabs the same way that good old FireFox did!

Each new tab opens just right of current tab. When I open a lot of tabs, the first ones stay on their right and latest ones on the left, as I used to have on FireFox and I love!

So, it's Chrome and Brave that do it "the wrong way" and Vivaldi devs "fixed" it, and TabFern supports these 3 browsers in the way they work! :D
