I find the default tab switching and opening behavior in **Google Chrome** frustrating. When switching between tabs and opening new ones, they quickly become disorganized, making navigation chaotic.

To fix this, I previously used the [**Tabs Plus**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabsplus/nikomkkhhpfoeamojhhgpfkpkdlfhfii) extension, but it stopped working after the latest Chrome updates due to changes in the extension manifest.

As an alternative, I found [**Tab Position Customizer - Modified**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-position-customizer-m/kkhcdbdhbmegbbhgmdhhpfmjhlhjlghp), which offers the same functionality — **and even more**.

### Key Features

In its settings, you can customize:

• **The order of opening and closing tabs with specific URLs**

• **The opening order for all tabs**

• **Which tab becomes active when closing another tab**

• **The position of newly opened tabs**

This extension gives you full control over how tabs behave, making browsing much more organized.
