Still works perfectly on Chrome for Windows version 129.0.6668.59

Does not work with my latest version of Chrome.

Would be great if Shift+Middle Click would open the tab in the background, i.e. have the default behavior flipped on its head. Right now, with this extension active I completely lose the ability to quickly open a tab in the background, with the only option left being the context menu. Any chances this feature gets implemented? I'd be glad to help out.

Excellent! Does what it says, and will not conflict with tab groups, expanding them all on Chrome start as some other extensions do.

Well this is not what I wanted. When you open a new website with a lot of content you want that in the background for later reading as you continue to browse the main tab. BUT when you open a new empty tab you want it directly highlighted BC when you open an empty tab you probably wanna use it straight away. This changed with the latest Chrome update in dec 2019.

Thank you! Works as expected. A great replacement for "Tabs to the Front" which no longer works in recent releases of Chrome.

Just installed it and it works as expected.
