Good extension, but not perfect. Before this feature was broken in Chrome 41, opening more than one tab in the background would que up the tabs, adding each new tab to the right of the last one. With this extension it opens them up to the left of the last opened tab. Is there are way for you to add an option to open tabs to the right of the previously opened tab?
