Terega-Nui Arakino (ID: 000000f6bf4f49bc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2023 Does what it is supposed to do correctly. Simple functionalities with simple interface but clearly a must have. I don't understand why those settings are not by default into Chrome.

Leland Whitlock (ID: 000000328f98ebbb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 It does what it is supposed to do during a current session. But as soon as the browser restarts the tabs get set in reverse order except if you say had the active tab in the middle then only the tabs on the right of that active tab get reversed. It would be nice if it could be fixed because when it works it is great. Finally, after writing this review, I found a replacement in Tab Position Customizer - Modified. It does everything right with no issues this far.

BeHappyBeVegan (ID: 0000006e17143d68) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2023 Perfect. Simple to use and it works. And unlike two other similar extensions I tried earlier my virus scanner gives ii a pass.
