Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Stops links from opening in a new tab. Also adds an "Open link in same tab" option to the right-click menu for links. Click on the icon or press Alt-B to add a website to the blacklist or whitelist. (Note: individual links can be forced to open in the same tab by dragging them to the address bar with the left mouse button held down instead of clicking them. This feature does not require the use of an extension.)

User reviews

So many sites, like Google custom search engines, force the link to open in a new tab. But if I want a new tab, then I'll make a new tab with a triple click or 'F' in Vimium. This extension eliminates all the clutter of search results pages.
