What is TabLink?
'TabLink' is a useful, straightforward Chrome extension designed to make your browsing experience more convenient.

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.

Ari Torres, 2018-05-13I 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.
