Bernhard Krautschneider		 Broken in new chrome versions. Also it has some funny code background.js when facebook.com is opened but I don't know if that code is legit.

Alexander Gruber		 Used to love this extension, but now it's functionality is erratic and is killing my workflow. It just opens tabs up in random windows if it works at all. Version 2.8 is garbage.Guess I'll have to look for an alternative.

Tashi Sherpa		 Opens links in the same tab (reuses tab). I can't believe this has to be an extension though. Ridiculous. Minus one star until the developer addresses data collection.

Gea-Suan Lin		 The latest version starts to track users, which is a different claim to "Privacy practices" page: https://abpe.org/system/media_attachments/files/110/932/276/340/680/182/original/9d022707f9c0ca4a.png The "openlinkinsametab.com" domain is registered on 2023-07-20T05:43:05Z, according to whois.
