Links still don't open in new tabs

Nick DeSteffen, 2013-06-24

Great extension, perhaps an option to open a new tab but not view that tab?

Matthew Power, 2013-01-07

I really like this extension, it does what it says it does, and does it pretty well. However it is somewhat annoying that it does not work on hackerne.ws which I have bookmarked.
