Brings newly created tabs to the foreground.
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.
