What's wrong with the Chrome method of opening new tabs right next to the current tab? This way related things tend to stay together. This one "feature" was why I switched to Chrome. This seems like an overly complicated solution in search of a problem.

My biggest problem with this approach is I lose context. I prefer tabs to open on the end of my browser. That way I can open 5 tabs, type Command-9 to to get to the last tab, and quickly deal with my tabs in a LIFO manner.

Tab Candy seems awesome to me for power browsing (20+ tabs), as long as there are intuitive keyboard shortcuts.

You still have problems when you open LOTS of tabs. You can no longer tell what page is loaded in a given tab.

Firefox already does this.

It does now? Back when I used Firefox, Firefox did not do that out of the box, so I used the Tabs Open Relative extension.
