By default, Chrome will only open a new tab at the very end of the row of tabs, which isn’t always what you want. This is a quick shortcut to open a new tab to the right of the one you’re currently viewing.
You can either use the button to the right of the address bar, or a configurable keyboard shortcut. The default keyboard shortcut is:
• For Windows & Linux: Alt + T
• For macOS: Ctrl + T
There is also a shortcut to open the new tab in the background instead of switching to it straight away:
• For Windows & Linux: Alt + Shift + T
• For macOS: Ctrl + Shift + T
You can change these shortcuts by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
