Tab counter long-press menu: re-arrange items so "New tab" is always under finger

[Cheap-Skate]

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Long press on tab counter brings up context menu - which is great. But ATM the item order is not ideal. I think New Tab is the most likely menu item to be used. I think therefore New Tab should always be under the user's finger straight after the long press. Then I can go long-press; tap in the same area of the screen to open a new tab.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

ATM I have to long press the tab counter then look hard to find the New Tab context menu item, move my finger to it, and then tap.

Plus the menu item under my finger is different with top toolbar (close tab) and with bottom toolbar (New private tab).

So I think the menu order should be

Bottom toolbar:-
Close tab
New private tab
New tab

Top toolbar:-
New tab
New private tab
Close tab

Who will benefit from it?

All users will be able to, without looking, long-press then tap the tab counter to open a new (non-private) tab.

Thanks!

The feature is pretty much a copy of chrome's implementation which is

Close tab
New tab
New private tab

You're right that the order of menu items relative to the user's finger changes depending on the toolbar position. Will wait for UX feedback on the menu item order

This makes sense to me. @apbitner to confirm menu order.
