The extension I was using is broken so I started using this as an alternative. Works perfectly and better than my old one. Thanks!

Works for me
by Aldo Barrientos Aldo Barrientos, 2022-09-29

This extension works perfectly, in all circumstances. By default it automatically opens links to external domains in a new tab. If you do not want this for certain domains, you can add these to a blacklist. If you only want this for specific domains, you can add these to a whitelist. Some users have reported that the blacklist feature does not work. But it does. However, note that if the website developer has specified that a link should open in a new window (*), this will still happen, even though the domain was blacklisted in this extension's settings, as is to be expected. (*) Any link which contains the <target="_blank" attribute'> will open in a new window (or a new tab if your browser is configured that way).
