| 2024-07-01 |  | | en | Conflict with Vivaldi's "lazy loading" It´s definitely a great extension but my favorite browser is Vivaldi and this extension (and apparently others similar to this) is now interfering with lazy loading. It was working ok with lazy loading but now lazy loading doesn't work anymore when this extension is active on Vivaldi's start. I have to deactivate it before closing Vivaldi and activate it again after opening Vivaldi... or quickly click on "Hibernate all background tabs" before Vivaldi crashes due to so many tabs opening simultaneously and depleting all available memory. I don't know if it was something Vivaldi developers did or Chrome developers. |
| 2020-12-05 |  | | en | Edit: Seems very buggy now in newer versions of chrome (currently at v126.x). I have to keep manually disabling/enabling the extension in order to get it to start properly opening new tabs. --- Extremely simple. Works better than "Switch To New Tab" which I've used for years. I'm a developer, so I audited the code and can verify that it's extremely simple and doesn't do anything with it's access. In fact, it really doesn't need the requested permissions, because pressing shift when clicking opens in a new window anyway, so it has no practical effect anymore. That's why I reduced this by 1 star. It requires permissions it doesn't really actually need (at least not anymore). The author should update this! |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn |
