Trying out this Firefox extension by @dietrich “New tabs should always open to the immediate right of the current tab. And now they will.” https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-right/?src=search …
Would love to hear your thoughts if you use it as your default behavior for a while. I think the assertion that “new tab == new task” in the user model is fundamentally wrong, and that complex opener patterns lead to frustratingly unpredictable experiences.

You may experience bugs, since the underlying APIs are not designed for this. A new
#WebExtension API just landed in@FirefoxNightly a few days ago to meet this use-case, but my extension isn’t using it yet. -
I’ll definitely let you know. I get lost in Tab Land too often. Only argument I can see for new tab on the end is the + button is there.

I say «one browser window == one task», otherwise, under one window, with «new tab == new task» approach, it quickly becomes a tab mess. So under «assertion» when we open a new tab from a tab it becomes what, new sub-task... Thanks no.

And with «tasks» approach we are glued to open/close «tasks» activity, when in reality tabs are not tasks at all, tabs are containers for information not checklists. Some tabs are here to stay as long as needed, some are not.

Like with documetns on the table. We don't see pack of documents as tasks, we have special type of document called tasklist. Under «new tab == new task» tab bar becomes this tasklist doc. When tab bar is table.
