I was wondering why there isn't a dedicated switch for this behavior.

For example, when I'm on a website, its tab is in focus. After closing that tab, I don't want the browser to automatically open and load another one (either the next one on the right or the last remaining one). It should simply close the tab and stop there. Maybe open a blank page.

Currently, to get around this, I have to add a new tab next to the one I'm on. That way, if I close the current tab, the browser switches to that empty tab instead of loading content from elsewhere. But the problem is that with 10-20 tabs open, empty ones take up precious space. I wish there was a way to make empty tabs more compact.

Thanks for any help!
