『Tabs to the front v2』と『アクティベート新規タブ』が
なぜか時々機能しなくなったため、こちらに鞍替え。うまくいけ
In October 2024,
''Tabs to the front v2'' and ''Activate new tab'' sometimes stopped working for some reason, so I switched to this. I hope goes well
Still works perfectly on Chrome for Windows version 129.0.6668.59
Does not work with my latest version of Chrome.
