TabLink

Open a link in a new tab, not in the same

TabLink - Chrome Extension for Link Opening in New Tab

'TabLink' is a useful, straightforward Chrome extension designed to make your browsing experience more convenient. Any link clicked while using this tool will automatically open in a new tab instead of the current one, doing away with the need to middle-click. The extension is especially advantageous for users who do not have a mouse with a middle-button. However, it is important to note that the extension does not apply to new tab, history, downloads, and extensions pages.

User reviews

best ext to open links in a new tab for me,since I use google's chrome in my laptop running linux,no windowze or mucOS

I agree with the other reviews. It works as described, but it is limited. It does not work on all links. When it works it "always" opens a new tab even if you don't want it to. The real problem is that Chrome does not provide a setting to bring new tabs to the top. So many other browsers have this feature. It's a shame.
