Googleはなぜこういう機能を実装しないのでしょう。これまでは不便な思いをしていました。こういう拡張機能が欲しかったんです。大変便利に使っています。ありがとうございます！

Only 2 extensions like this available to use: ctlr+lmb shift+lmb shift+ctrl+lmb and both are not working, why it have to be so hard for those who moved from opera.

Well done SW! To anyone thinking of installing this app, it works exactly as advertised and does it very well.
