Hi Developer.... Since I see you're working on a project similar, would be be kind enough to either create a "New Extension" or maybe just Add the feature to this one, so as to "Open Favorites in New Tab"? You can even have a setting in which we choose if we want the Favorite to open in the Background or Foreground, as well as your options, the end of row or next to open tab. Need it to work with Edge, but you likely don't have to do anything extra since most Chrome extensions work with Edge, though depending on how it needs to work I don't know. Anyway, this is a long needed feature, desperate. Thanks
