2023-07-30	Robert Paulsen	This does much the same as the "Tab Activate" extension. Tab Activate has one capability that this extension lacks: With Tab Activate a shift-click reverts to the original behavior. Not very important but If you are on a page with multiple links you might want to open several of those links without leaving the original page.
2023-07-28	Live Long & Prosper	One of those indispensable extensions that does its job, doesn't collect data, and doesn't need any special permissions. Absolute perfection.
2023-05-11	Jan Hartigan	I really like this extension, but it keeps randomly disabling. The only way to fix (that I know of) is to manually disable and reenable the extension. Wish there was a true fix for this and I'd give it 5 stars easy.
2022-12-21	Pepyk Balun	Při spuštění prohlížeče způsobí načtení všech karet.
2022-11-12	H G	TOP STANDARD TIN JOOB. middle mous click and goes direct tho sometimes i wanna open many etsy etc pages then not direct so on off be good i just disable from the MIGHTY SIMPLE EXT MANAGER
2022-10-21	1V4N	Thank you!!! Why else would we open new tab/window but to switch to it?! Who opens a new tab/window just to have it quietly sitting in the background?
2022-09-27	Christopher McBride	Perfect, this app does EXACTLY what you want it to do.
2022-06-24	Lotzy	Unfortunately will conflict with tab groups, expanding them all on Chrome start.
2022-05-09	Bob Elsasser	Thanks for this extension. Was using another similar extension but it has become unreliable (Tab Activate).
2022-04-29	Darbo Scalante	I use to work like this in Safari. Now this extension brings that subtle yet amazing functionality to Chrome. Big thank you.
