"would probably have" or "would have probably"
Hello all, Unfortunately I could not find my answer in similar threads here. Which one do you think is correct ? 1) If he had objected to his friend in those days, he would probably have been justified. 2) If he had objected to his friend in those days, he would have probably been justified...

One time, long ago, I saw somewhere that the adverb usually goes after the first auxilliary verb. A while ago, on a thread I made on this forum, you told me that whoever said that did not know what they were talking about and the adverb goes after all auxilliary verbs and before the main verb. Now, on the thread above, an English speaking person (Post #2) says that it goes after the first auxilliary. I'm feeling dizzy!
Edit: The thread I made here, where you told me it goes after all auxilliaries, was 'must have accidentally dropped vs must accidentally have dropped'.
