BEWARE! It's great when it works (though it doesn't always work). If you want a right-click option instead of a new tab, just hold shift, control or option/alt when right-clicking. BUT: on certain web pages, left-clicking a link that is supposed to open another site in another tab results in a "... refused to connect" message instead of the new tab. Right-clicking that link opens the other site in a new tab. It took an hour of trial end error, first to learn that this extension was responsible for the "... refused to connect" error, and then to figure out the workaround—using a right click instead of an ordinary left click. But now you know.
