Ok..tried it. It's Just for opening a New Tab, not Open Link(s)/Bookmarks in New Tab.

The extension I was using is being retired so I'm trying this one. It is quite good but didn't work for me. In general, it works as expected, but if I open a bookmark from the bookmarks bar in a new tab, it won't work (cmd + click a link on the bookmarks bar). Also note, if you use different profiles, you shhould install this extension in the other profile as well. Other than that, a great extension, thank you!
