Summary
This extension forces Chrome to set focus to all new tabs when they are created, a behavior previously not seen when a link was forced by the user to open in a new tab.
The location bar should get focus now when you open the New Tab, unless you use an addon that redirects to a different URL. Please let my know if you have any other issues with this.
Tampletop, what exactly are you looking for? I'm the developer for this extension, so if I know what you want, I'll try to put it in. Paul...I'm on it!
