Description
Describe the bug
This is only relevant if you use Vivaldi.
If you have multiple workspaces and close the last tab on a workspace, Vimium will take you to another workspace disregarding the option selected in Vivaldi settings - Switch me to the tab on the left if i close a tab

Another user also mentioned this only happens with Vimium, towards the end.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create multiple workspaces in Vivaldi and open some tabs in them
- Go to your first workspace
- Close the last tab using Vimium shortcut (I believe it is "w" or "x" by default?)
Include a screenshot if applicable.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in Vivaldi 7.6.3797.63 with multiple workspaces, then trace the Vimium shortcut path for closing the last tab and compare it with Vivaldi's configured tab-closing behavior. Done means closing the last tab keeps the workspace and follows the selected Vivaldi setting.
