This extension activates newly opened tabs instead of opening them in the background. The default behavior in Chrome when clicking on a link with the "_blank" target, or by CTRL/CMD clicking on a link, is to open the tab in the background. Most browsers allow changing this behavior in the Preferences menu; for Chrome, disable this extension to have new tabs open in the background, enable it to open new tabs in the foreground.

Updated to work with "modern" versions of Chrome.

I tried it, it doesn't work the way I hoped. Opening a link from another program, still keeps that program in focus. I wanted chrome to take focus en go to foreground. I might have some other goal

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open Link In Foreground Tab requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Open Link In Foreground Tab may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
