This extension deserves 5 stars as I tried several of them and only this one worked as described. I used Vivaldi browser but I guess the same will be in Chrome too. I also marked as inappropriate one single 1-star comment which distorted the rating. Hopefully it will removed or ill stop affecting the rating of this really useful extension. Before I used Super Drag feature of crxMouse extension to open links in new tab but that required moving my mouse while holding button. This extension is much better. I also use Logitech mouse which has extra programmable buttons, so I assigned CTRL+F4 to one of them to close tab with one click. Super convenient.
