Description
Open new tabs next to the current one, not at the end of the strip. Per-trigger rules for link clicks, Ctrl+T, and Ctrl+Shift+T. Chrome puts every new tab at the end of the strip. Anchrd Tabs fixes that. Set exactly where new tabs open, independently for each way you open them: - Link clicks (middle-click, Ctrl+click, target=_blank) - open right of the current tab by default - Blank new tab (Ctrl+T, the + button) - independently configurable - Reopened tabs (Ctrl+Shift+T) - independently configurable Each trigger can be set to: Right of current, Left of current, End of strip, Beginning of strip, or Chrome default. Extra controls, all optional: - Focus when opening: decide whether new link-click or blank tabs open in the foreground or background. Useful if you want to queue up links without losing your place. - After closing a tab, activate: choose which tab gets focus next: the left neighbour, right neighbour, the tab that opened the closed one (the opener), the last tab you used before this one, or Chrome's default. - Join opener's tab group: tabs opened from a link inside a grouped tab automatically join that group. Prevent duplicate tabs: if you middle-click a link that is already open somewhere in the window, Anchrd Tabs switches to the existing tab instead of opening a second one. How it works Anchrd Tabs runs entirely as a Chrome service worker. It has no access to page content - it only reads tab metadata (position, URL, group membership) to decide where to place new tabs. All settings are saved to Chrome Sync, so your preferences follow you across devices. Privacy - No data is collected, stored externally, or transmitted anywhere. - No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party libraries. - No host permissions - Anchrd Tabs never touches the content of any web page. - The only permissions declared are: `tabs`, `storage`, `tabGroups`, and `sessions` - each used directly for the features described above. Full privacy policy: https://griffentek.github.io/anchrd/privacy **Known limitations** - Ctrl+N (new window) is not intercepted - Chrome does not expose enough information for extensions to reliably classify that trigger. - After a Chrome service worker restart (which Chrome triggers automatically), the "last used" tab history resets and degrades gracefully to Chrome's default until you switch tabs a few times. - Incognito mode: not enabled by default. You can allow it in the extension's details page at chrome://extensions.
