Description from extension meta

Brings newly created tabs to the foreground.

Image from store Tabs to Front v2
Description from store New tabs open immediately instead of in the background. Update of original "Tabs to the Front!" by Abarth (2010). Chrome opens new tabs in the background and provides no option to switch to them immediately. This extension forces new tabs to open immediately. Basic, no frills, no extra features.

  • (2022-11-10) Krzysztof Pawlak: Super.
  • (2022-10-23) John Lewis: I installed it. I configured it in developer mode. I used it by right clicking on a link and selecting the Open Link in New Tab command. The resutt was the link opened in a new tab, and the focus was switched to the new tab. Viola! Thank you and God bless you!
  • (2022-08-06) kai: it generally works but sometimes fails in Vivaldi.
  • (2022-06-24) Lotzy: Unfortunately even this extension will conflict with tab groups, expanding them all when Chrome starts.
  • (2021-08-23) Göran Löfström: Perfect!
  • (2020-08-01) Robert Grayson: It does EXACTLY what is says, and that's EXACTLY what I was looking for!
  • (2019-12-21) PhantomPanic: Tab Activate no longer works properly. This is working great! Thanks
  • (2019-12-19) Joseph Morlan: Tried this after Tabs Activate stopped working on bookmarks with the latest Chrome update. This no-frills extension works as expected on the latest Chrome. Works on both links and bookmarks.

  • (2023-09-17, v:2.1) Bryan “Ironman” Stark: Stopped working today 2023-09-17
    Hi Douglas, this is a great ext, but it stopped working for me this morning. Browser: Microsoft Edge 117.0.2045.31 (Official build) (64-bit) I have it activated in private mode as well and tried it both in public and private mode. I don't have Chrome so I couldn't try it there. Can you post a link to your Github?
  • (2023-02-20, v:2.1) Shmuel: Stopped working
    No longer works
  • (2022-05-13, v:2.1) Mac McConnell: Extension doesn't survive a chrome restart
    The extension works perfectly but when I shut down chrome, and restart it, the extension fails to load, or do anything at all. I have to Remove the extension and then add it again. I twill then work perfectly for the duration of that session, but not the next one.
  • (2021-06-30, v:2.0) carsten e: Goes to new tab, but leaves the bookmark folder open...
    When I open a bookmark from a folder in my bookmark bar (folder folds open over webpage) in a new tab, it activates it correctly, but leaves the bookmark folder open. I then have to click it again to close it. Since june 2021 on updated chrome.
