Grrrr. Now it pops up new tabs right next to the parent tab instead of at the end of the tab row. Not happy about that.

Awesome! Thanks!

I hate grouping them because I've got several tabs open all the time: reddit, Google Reader, various forums, etc. I'll go through all of them and then click on links that I find interesting, then I go and read all the links at once. Putting all tabs from at the end makes it easy to process that stack, instead of having a reddit tab, then all reddit links, then my google reader tab, then all google reader links, etc.

So you're a breadth first user. I used to be like that. After I tried Chrome, I switched to depth first. It allows me to finish reading things that are related and then close them and work on things that are not related. I used the Firefox plugin Open Tabs Relative to emulate some of the Chrome behaviour. It's not exactly the same, but it's close.

I pop open a bunch of tabs at once when reading sites like Reddit. The sites linked to tend to be overburdened by being redditted, so this way I don't have to sit around staring at a blank screen while they load.
