Does not work on https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/tyres
by Douglas Held, 2024-10-31

Nope, DOES NOT open all links in a new tab. ONLY links in a web page, not bookmarks. A bookmark is a url or link just like one found on a web page..... Removed!

It would be five star if it was on by default. It looks like it doesn't work, and it's a nuisance to have to keep turning it on.
