Extension summary
This extension will put a double purple border around all links that will open in a new tab (i.e. links with target="_blank").
There are two main purposes for this extension:
- If you build or manage websites, this is a great way to check that _blank is or is not being used on various links.
- Sometimes _blank links are hiding amongst normal links. With the _blank extension you'll have a heads up before clicking a link that will pop open a new tab/window.

This is designed to be a compliment to igorware.com's NoFollow extension, which puts a red dotted outline around nofollow links. (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nofollow/dfogidghaigoomjdeacndafapdijmiid)
User reviews
Useful.
Simple and does exactly what I want it to do.
Just needs to add in a feature to turn it off temporarily across the board; I don't want it on 100% of the time.
