User reviews

Automatically closes the page if I choose not to go there. Also stopped me from accessing Microsoft's forum websites. DIdn't even allow me to access them. Removed.

Should not entirely close the website tab, it defeats the purpose.

would be nice if this extension provide a way not to close, but open redirect in new while keeping page content .Thanks.
