**OPEN SOURCE • NO ADS • NO TRACKING**

Tabs open with flair, close with care — you're the one who steers them where.

Tab Positioner lets you customize the position of new tabs and control which tab becomes active after a tab is closed.

It is a modern successor to the [Tab Position Options](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-position-options/fjccjnfkdkdmjohojoggodkigkjkkjhl) extension, rebuilt from the ground up to support [Chrome's new Manifest V3 platform](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/).

If you notice any functional or translation issues in the extension, please [open an issue](https://github.com/huangyxi/tab-positioner/issues/new) or [submit a pull request](https://github.com/huangyxi/tab-positioner/pulls).

Contributions are always welcome!

## Features

* **New Tab Position**: Decide where new tabs open.

* **Link Tab Position**: Set different rules for tabs opened from links in the foreground or background.

* **Popup Position**: Open popups as tabs, following the same rules as links.

* **Tab Activation**: Choose which tab gets focus after you close one.

* **Sync Settings**: Your tab position preferences sync across all your devices with [Chrome's built-in sync feature](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/185277#zippy=%2Csign-in-turn-on-sync).

* **Dark Mode**: The extension automatically matches Chrome’s dark mode.
