Open new tab next to current
 

I'd like to see an option for opening a new "tab" next to the current one instead of after the last one. Other browsers have this option, and it makes my browsing much more convenient and orderly.

But you can drag your tabs in any order you want ...

Yes, you can move 'em, but I almost always have one browser with more tabs than fit on the screen (i.e. the tab drawer has a scroll bar). Moving 'em around in that case is a pain.

So do I.......

Hoping this gets added as well. Either that, or switching to the previously viewed tab when the current tab is closed.

In fact, both would be best.

Yes you can move the tabs around, but convenience is always a big selling point, and these are simple changes that make people's lives easier. Automation of mundane tasks are the point of many programs.

Agreed. It's so non-intuitive it feels like a bug.

It's jarring: I'm reading something, decide to open one of the links in a new tab, finish the side trip and close the tab. The intent is to return to what I was reading before the side trip -- but often it's not (if there are other tabs below what I was reading). Then I'm like huh? Why am I looking at this? And then I remember it's OW.

I hope that's fixed or made a preference in 5.6.
