Doug Cloud (ID: 00000064dd5bc3c2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/02/2023 I deduct two star, because of a very annoying issue. I like having tabs in a certain order, but when I use this extension it works but it also brings the tab to the front. Unfortunately because of this I will have to find another solution.
