New Tab open at first is not working ...
by Abdullah, 2024-10-14
For some reason in the start when using it, it opened the new tab right next to the current tab without scrolling to the end first, but after doing that like a couple times, it started behaving like that, which is what i didn't like with the alternatives, i like that this is more customizable though!
