Title:
Open new tabs next to the tab that launched them
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When clicking on a target="_blank" link or Ctrl-clicking on a link, a
new tab opens. But it always opens at the end of the list of current
tabs.
Ideally it would open next to the tab that launched it. Other
browsers do this, and it helps to keep related content near each
other. And makes it faster to switch to the new tab if you want to
(one press of Ctrl+Tab instead of many).
