@ Daniel F.

I think the 'New Tab' button placement as it is right now is really unintuitive and slow if you don't want to use 'ctrl + t'.
Cause really it's too far away from where the action is going on (the viewport) and for new users the icon currently being used by default might be a little hard to recognize as opening a new tab.

Moving and sticking it to the far left doesn't really solve the problem in my opinion because most of the time the users focus (and with that the position of their mousepointer) is going more towards the center of the screen.
So I think the 'New Tab' button should be clearly visible and fast to access when you look at the center of the screen. Thus the dynamic positioning after the last opened tab seems the fastest and most intuitive place to put the button.
And we should probably just use a plus sign for the button.
