新しく開いたタブを前面に表示する、という簡単な拡張機能です。「Tabs to the Front」という、ほぼ同じ内容の拡張機能があったのですが、そちらが使用できなくなくなってしまったためこちらを使用しました。 「Tab to Front v2」という拡張機能もあるのですが、あちらの方が最終更新日時が新しいという点と、特別な権限を要求しないという点で、v2の方が使いやすいと思っています。 ただし機能面はどちらも変わらないので、こちらを使用しても特に不満は感じません。

Would be great if Shift+Middle Click would open the tab in the background, i.e. have the default behavior flipped on its head. Right now, with this extension active I completely lose the ability to quickly open a tab in the background, with the only option left being the context menu. Any chances this feature gets implemented? I'd be glad to help out.
