Extension summary

Do you get annoyed when links on a page open in the same tab? Do you ever wish all links open in a new tab? Well if you answered yes to those questions this extention is for you.

This extension is very simple. All it does is append target="_blank" to all links on a page. That's it. It's not at all complex, and on some pages the js will overrite this and it won't work. For the most part it does the job though.

I've been using this for a while on my own since I prefer all links to open in new tabs. Now I'm putting it out there for everyone to use. Enjoy!

User reviews

Yessir. This may be old but it still works. Opens links in a new tab instead of the same page. Very useful. Thank you kindly. ez 5 stars
