How to get new tab/link opened on the right of the current tabs in Chrome web browser?
Currently when a new link is opened, the new tab is opened next to the current tab.
What I need is that it should appear next to the last tab instead, as seen in the snapshot below (position #2 is what I want, rather than #1).
How can I get that in Google Chrome?

@Devid Chrome uses some heuristics to determine where it should open - sometimes it opens right next to the current tab, sometimes at the end

@Sathya Not exactly. The only two possible target position are "to the right of the current tab" and "to the right of the last opened tab". The former condition is true if you open multiple links into new tabs in a row. A tab is (by default) never opened on the far right, unless it happens to follow from one of the two other rules.

Due to security reasons, I try to avoid installing extensions if I can. Here's a simple workaround: On the current page, find a link you can trust. Simply right click and open it in a new tab. It's not the most elegant solution, but it gets the job done.

This plugin forces new tabs to open at the end of the tab strip.
New Tabs At End makes all of your new tabs open at the end of the tab strip, much like how Firefox's tabs work. When you close a tab, it selects the next tab in the strip, much like how Firefox's tabs work.

I didn't like any of the extensions suggested because they all changed the default behavior, when I was looking for solution that allowed me to open a new tab either on the far-right (the default behavior) or to the right of the active tab (the new behavior).
Found a solution that worked better for me here -- adding a Chrome search engine shortcut to a simple javascript command:
javascript:window.open();

This plugin forces new tabs to open at the end of the tab strip.
New Tabs At End makes all of your new tabs open at the end of the tab strip, much like how Firefox's tabs work. When you close a tab, it selects the next tab in the strip, much like how Firefox's tabs work.

When I open a new tab in Chrome it appears at position #2. I am using Chrome Version 32.

@Devid Chrome uses some heuristics to determine where it should open - sometimes it opens right next to the current tab, sometimes at the end

@Sathya Not exactly. The only two possible target position are "to the right of the current tab" and "to the right of the last opened tab". The former condition is true if you open multiple links into new tabs in a row. A tab is (by default) never opened on the far right, unless it happens to follow from one of the two other rules.

Due to security reasons, I try to avoid installing extensions if I can. Here's a simple workaround: On the current page, find a link you can trust. Simply right click and open it in a new tab. It's not the most elegant solution, but it gets the job done.
