Concerns Regarding Required Permissions Please read the detailed description of required permissions (below) and why they are necessary. Without them, Tab Activate could not work as described. Absolutely no data is changed or collected. Description When you open a link in a new tab, Chrome opens the new tab in the background and provides no option to switch to it immediately. With Tab Activate, new tabs open immediately instead of in the background. To override Tab Activate and open a new tab in the background, press the Shift key while opening the new tab. Note: Override does not work for bookmarks. Tab Activate effectively reverses Chrome's new tab focus behavior. |
Have websites which you always open links in new tab? With this extension, add the domain and all links in the domain will open in a new tab. Useful for websites such as hackernews where you would ideally like to open links in new tab. To add a website to always open in a new tab, just visit the website and click on the extension icon. |
