Thank you thank you thank you for making an extension that actually does what I - ME ME ME, not Google and not other developers - want my tabs to do! 1) open new tabs/links/ to the right of the existing tab; 2) open links from other applications to a new far right tab; 3) use "+" to open new tab to the far right; 4) close tab returns to the last opened tab. THANK YOU!

"Focus-Last-Selected-Tab: when the current/displayed tab is closed, display the most recent tab" Yea, this sucks, majorly. The only reason I want this extension is tab-flipping with a shortcut, but this thing where it focuses on the last selected tab *WHEN CLOSING A TAB* is so jarring and infuriating that I literally cannot use it anymore. I didn't realize that was the main point of this extension, which I assumed was tab flipping. Extremely disappointing I can't disable this annoying behavior in the settings.
