Works well. Just what I needed, thanks! :)
Thank you for developing this extension on chrome. I recently swtiched from Firefox to Chrome since my firefox was bugging, and I realized that chrome does not have the convient way of "ctrl+left click on + sign" to open a new tab next to my current tab. Now I found this extension on StackExchange and it does the job! Hopefully the extension is secured and you won't rob my information haha, but other than that thank you.
