Modern Web Extension to Open Links in New Tabs for Specified Domains or Temporarily on Any Tab.

• (2025-06-24) Robin Winslow: Doesn't work for URL changes in JavaScript - presumably those using the History API instead of window.location. Most modern websites nowadays are single page applications (SPAs). This means most links that one might wish to auto-open in a new tab change the URL using the History API, which avoids a full-page reload in the browser. This extension should handle those too, otherwise it's not very useful. You can read about how to do that here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54209263/613540 It would also be nice if the "Update anchor links" functionality was extended to let us choose whether query string changes (?hello=world) count as URL changes or not. For my existing use-case (where I want to protect a tab that shows me my Kanban board from moving away from that), I'd like it to only catch base path changes (e.g. /dashboard -> /dashboard/issues), and not query string or anchor changes.

• (2025-04-12) Adri Wanderer: Useful. It has more options than similar extensions.
• (2025-02-25) C Bacca: Does not work on https://academy.infigo.net/academy/c/70/megaedit. Try to control-click a "Launch" button to open the page in a new tab and it doesn't work. I also listed the host "academy.infigo.net" in this extension. I have disabled any ad blockers for that domain. The Launch button is actually an HTML <button> element.
• (2024-11-29) Insomnolant: Works perfectly, and I like that you can choose which sites to enable it on.

• (2024-10-08) Leo Semenov: This extension deserves 5 stars as I tried several of them and only this one worked as described. I used Vivaldi browser but I guess the same will be in Chrome too. I also marked as inappropriate one single 1-star comment which distorted the rating. Hopefully it will removed or ill stop affecting the rating of this really useful extension. Before I used Super Drag feature of crxMouse extension to open links in new tab but that required moving my mouse while holding button. This extension is much better. I also use Logitech mouse which has extra programmable buttons, so I assigned CTRL+F4 to one of them to close tab with one click. Super convenient.
• (2024-08-09) Esther Kim: I have never posted a review for any extension (at least that I can recall), but decided I should for this one. I saw only 1-star reviews, but this extension is the only one I could find that has this feature and has been updated in the last four years! If you don't want to refresh the tabs you've got open currently, just quit and re-open google chrome, and if you don't see your tabs as soon as Chrome is reopened, you can check your history and open all the tabs you previously had! I tried a few others before I found this one and they all opened links in a new tab AND on the current tab, which is... less than ideal. One great addition that I hope to see in the future is the option to open the tabs in the background! Wonderful little tool, thank you Shane (name is below, I'm not a creep) ! edit: Thank you!! Found it and enabled it :) much appreciated!
