Second Update Day After First Review: Now, its working again. I think something on my end caused it to glitch. The stars aligned five times. Thanks, vdegenne! Updated Day After First Review: It's broken. It stopped working. It opens a new tab in the background when using the 'Open Link in New Tab' command from the right-click menu. Yesterday, it opened the link in a new tab, but it activated that new tab so it focused on it. What happened? Your guess is as good as mine. I don't know. Five stars fell to the 1 star level. It does not work as expected. That's too bad. Hopefully, this will be fixed. I'll give it some time before requiring myself to remove it. Thanks for trying, vdegenne. Works as expected. However, I will suggest to the developer to update the extension description on the Google Chrome Store because it currently does not explicitly state this extension immediately focuses on the newly opened tab when using the Open Link in New Tab command from the right-click menu in the desktop version of Google Chrome. Yet, somehow I ended up finding this extension, and I'm so grateful that it works as expected! Thank you very much!
