This extension only works sometimes. As with all the 'tab opening to the right' extensions, they all open the tab on the very end, then move it to the right of the current tab, and ALL of them only work sometimes. I've only used one extension that actually opened to the right of the current tab, but Google took it down, because the creator didn't update it (it didn't need updating).

This only works sometimes. New tabs will still open at the far end of the window randomly.

works great, but for some reason I don't get the option to open tabs to the right. I only have open to default location and open to the left. Is this because I'm using the Brave browser?

Others might look smoother, But the ability to open HISTORY AND BOOKMARK ITEMS (and other system tabs) TO THE RIGHT makes this extension superior. The slight movement glitch is nothing compared to this advantage. It would be 10/10 if it stopped the new tab from scrolling out of view when the tab bar is full.

This is the only one I tested that worked for me as well!

It works! This is the only one I found that actually opened everything next to current tab, including tabs opened from extension button!! :) It deserves more recognition!
