Open tabs next to the current one

When clicking or cmd-clicking a link in a tab, Chrome opens a new tab next to the current one, or, if many have been clicked, at the end of that "local stack". `chrome.tabs.create` opens new tabs in the last position in the window by default, so update the code to mirror the mouse-click behavior.
