Problem Description¶
Whenever a link in an existing site opened in a new tab / background, it opens at the farthest right end of the tab list. A session with numerous other tabs will make the current session more jumbled because of this.
Possible Solution¶
Always spawn new tabs adjacent to the current tab. This'll be absolutely crucial for a better tab management.

That's actually quite complicated because of the way TabLayout works. It would involve moving each tab over. Not impossible, but I am probably unlikely to implement it unless a vary large number of people request it.

Actually, it might be easier than I originally assumed. The most important part would be to synchronize the TabLayout and the ViewPager.

Upto you to set the priority of the changes. But just think of the amount of convenience and usability upgrade by implementing this. Imagine how benefitial it would be, when all the links open adjacent to the current one...
Imagine you have like 5 tabs (or even 3) per session. You're on Tab 1 & wanna spawn some link in a new tab. You do it and they suddenly spawn at the end, which jumbles up your current tab workflow with other tabs.

That is a good point. I will take a look at it to see how easy it would be to implement.

I believe it'll be worth trying even if it's slightly difficult for you. This would be literally a free tab management upgrade.
