Special conditions of use

The numbering of tabs is done in the order of opening and does not depend on the subsequent movement of tabs in the browser, but always corresponds to their current number. I.e. after removing the 4th tab from 5, the 5th tab will become the 4th.

Text comparison when a tab is selected is case-insensitive.
