User reviews

Different behavior in Firefox v. Chrome. In FF when in locked tab when I mistakenly click a link from the bookmarks bar the link opens in a new tab (the behavior I want to have with the locked tab). In Chrome it will open the bookmark link in the locked tab which annoys me to no end, since the FF behavior is why I wanted a tab locking extension in the first place. At the moment I'm using both browsers almost equally while I decide which browser to stick with in future and would like locked tabs to act the same in both. Any way you can fix this with an update?

フレームを使ったページなどでは効果がないため、ロックできないページが多すぎで中途半端
