Extension summary

By default, reddit links open in the current tab. I found that I would scroll through a list of links, and [right-click -> open in new tab] some of the more interesting links which I then read in bulk. This extension reduces the number of clicks by opening reddit posts in a new tab when clicked as per normal. So you can scroll through the page, click on all of the interesting links, then proceed to read them after.
