Child Tab Next is a free Google Chrome extension developed by Gavin Borg. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The main purpose of this extension is to force new or duplicated tabs, excluding those opened via links, to open next to their opener instead of at the very end.

This extension is inspired by the "Tab to the Next" extension and aims to provide a similar functionality. By using Child Tab Next, users can ensure that newly opened tabs are positioned adjacent to the tab from which they were opened. This can be particularly useful for users who prefer a more organized and structured tab management system.

Child Tab Next has undergone several updates and improvements over time. The initial release was made on September 15, 2013, followed by a complete rewrite on February 18, 2017, to enhance reliability and add support for duplicating tabs. The most recent update, version 2.1, was released on March 29, 2021, resolving an issue where the extension was not working for new tabs by implementing a check for tab.pendingUrl.

Please note that as this extension was developed for personal use, responses and fixes from the developer may experience significant delays.
