Google-chrome – How to get new tab/link opened on the right of the current tabs in Chrome web browser

google-chrome

Currently when a new link is opened, the new tab is opened next to the current tab.

What I need is that it should appear next to the last tab instead, as seen in the snapshot below (position #2 is what I want, rather than #1).

How can I get that in Google Chrome?

TabsPlus gives you the option to select where you want a new tab to open - selecting "last" will result in the behaviour you want.

You can use a pure Javascript method:

var links = document.querySelectorAll('a[target="_blank"]');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) links[i].target = '';

Or you can use jQuery:

$('a[target="_blank"]').each(function() {
  this.target = '';
});

Then create an extension with it and install it to your browser. Chrome Developer Page
