Reverse Tabs 🔄

A Chrome extension that automatically moves new tabs to the beginning of your tab bar instead of the end, making it easier to access recently opened tabs.

Features ✨

• Auto-repositioning: New tabs automatically appear after pinned tabs
• Smart detection: Only affects new tab pages and empty tabs
• Pinned tab aware: Respects your pinned tabs and positions new tabs after them
• Lightweight: Minimal performance impact with efficient tab management

How it Works 🔧

When you open a new tab (either by clicking the "+" button or using Ctrl+T), the extension:

1. Detects if it's a new tab page or empty tab
2. Queries all tabs in the current window
3. Counts pinned tabs to determine the correct insertion point
4. Moves the new tab to the position right after pinned tabs
