open new tab in right most position

Is there a way to have the new tab after the last tab, not next to the current one?

If it is only doable thru an add-on is there one that will make the new tab a blank page and let me control its position all in one add on?

If someone has done this with an add-on what happens when you then provide a url in the address line and move to it. Currently in Edge when I add a new page it is not a blank page. Then if I provide a url in the address line it treats this as the second page in the history of the tab. Then after I have followed some links if I get click happy while hitting the back key I end up on the Edge new page. In Firefox I can open a new tab and it is blank and there is no url in the address. As a result no matter how many links I follow on that tab, hitting the back key eventually gets me back to that page.

If the history part is not possible I would still like a blank new page and have it open in the far right / last in line?

    i had removed it earlier. It didn't consistently work. Thanks for posting about the malware.

    This is one of the things I find frustrating. Companies say they want to fight viruses and malware but then even simple things like opening a blank tab or opening to the right or far right are no longer supported by them so you go to external sources. I could see if these were oddities but they existed in at least some browsers before they started taking a step backwards. Basically, "We want to protect you so go out and download stuff from various sources to get back simple functionality."
