After closing a tab on google chrome, it doesn't come back to the last active tab but to the one at its right, or left when the new tab is the rightmost.

For example :

  • On tab 6/10
  • Open and go to new tab, 11/11
  • Close the tab, go back to 10/10 tab

Why is that? Is there a way to make it go to the last used tab? (6/10 in my example) I have to use Chrome for several reasons and being used to Firefox this is especially annoying. Honestly I can't believe that in 2018, the most popular browser doesn't do something as simple as that by default.

EDIT: This answer is now obsolete. Here are some alternatives sugeested in the comments. I have not tried them yet.

In order to configure where you want chrome to go after you closed a tab, you can use TabsPlus, an extension available on the Web Store. enter image description here

You can choose to go back to the last used tab using this extension. I hope this is what you meant.
