- Thank You! This extension is a must have.

- トラックパッドで操作する際などには非常に重宝しています。 ただ一つ残念なのは、ページ上の要素（Gmailのラベル名やiframe内のスクロールバー等）をドラッグした際にも反応してしまうこと。 マウスが動いた際には反応しないようにしてくれれば☆5つです。

- I love this extension. However lately it also opens the link both in new window but also in the same window...

- Wonderful extension, thanx to to the maker. Only suggestion... If you add an option to choose the position of the new tab. i.e. Right or left of the originating tab, or First or Last tab... And similar to Ctrl + Long Right Click opens in a new window... Up to yo... Thank you very much

- Love this extension. For some reason when I switched to duckduckgo as my search engine- actually installed a duckduckgo extension that does that automagically and does other stuff, I notice on the DDG pages that long press new tab left click opens in a new tab and stays in the current tab and the current tab also clicks the link. This only happens on DDG, not google or other sites I'm aware of. Also right click in DDG opens in a new tab and takes me there and does not click the link in the DDG page. So it's just a little bug. I'd be interested in why that's happening- maybe just an HTML property or something or maybe my extension, so now I just right click and otherwise it's a great extension.

- 5/5 extension, very convenient. I made it so that holding it for just 0.1 sec with the right mouse button opens the link in a new tab in the background (so without changing to that tab). With the left mouse button it just goes straight to that page. If I want to copy a link address, that's still possible by tapping the right mouse button.

- Very handy. Just wish I could reduce the click time to zero, as I prefer to assign it to the right mouse button and would like to have the tab open immediately.

- It works for me with me with Google Chrome. version 75.0.3770.90 (Official Build) (64-bit). Sort of. It works for links on most sites (but not all - I assume those sites does some funny Javascripting). It does not work at all for my bookmarked links - which was what I was after. I also tried an extension called "Click to Tab". It suffered from the same problems, so maybe extensions cannot control the behavior of bookmarked links?

- Interesting, but too complex for me, I'll remove it. "New tab (foreground)" is apparently the same thing as "open in current tab", so don't try that for a left click. "New tab (background)" ended up as a new last tab, perfectly fine unless you are used to Chrome's wannabe-smarter behaviour.

- Simple. Effective. Great. Highly recommended!

- Open in Readability and with Instapaper Mobilizer do not work anymore but still it is the best extension for long click and drag link control. There are others I tried but with this all the three mouse buttons can be configured with click delay.

- Просто супер! Давно искал. Очень удобно! Большое спасибо разработчикам!
- RM Hutchins
- Very helpful to avoid annoying changing screen focus to new tab while keeping screen focus on current tab.

- У меня опять сломался клик колесиком, но это расширение спасло от траты денег на новую мышь из-за какой-то одной функции. И оно прекрасно работает в моем браузере Vivaldi. Идеально мне подошло. Большое спасибо разработчикам!
- Lisa Miller
- The lack of a solution to opening links in a new tab has been my only reason to not switch from Firefox. Now I have a fix!

- Нужное расширение. Хотелось бы возможность в опциях включать : 1. Обработку кликов по закладкам 2.Обработку кликов по картинкам 3.Обработку кликов по элементам журнала. И тогда будет 5++

- Class! loved it! Just really wanted an option to make double clicking open links in new tabs so ended up making one myself, try it out if you like.. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/doubleclicker/kdfhgamfoobfingdhklhmjpbgflibeng

- Love the options available to long press to foreground or background. Glad to know right and middle click press are available as options too. Good thinking!
- Michael Ryan
- Was excellent but now changes current tab too, so you end up with two tabs for the same site and have to hit the back key to return to your original site

- Отличный плагин. Пользуюсь несколько лет.

- It doesn't work at all now. I tried all the combinations I could and it just doesn't work.
- zma61
- Работает, есть настройка действий, есть дополнительные опции. Если не любите кликать колесом по ссылкам, чтобы их в новых вкладках открывать то это расширение будет полезно. Норм плагин.

- Easy to configure and extremely usefull

- Amazing. Great extension !!! Thanks.

- Отличное расширение. Работает в отличие от конкурентов. Пользуюсь с больши удовольствием.

- Could you make the slider go lower than 100ms? I use Vivaldi browser, and this is the only extension that works correctly when opening a new tab in the foreground. Could you make the slider go all the way down to 0ms so it opens the tab immediately with no delay?
- Josef Marc
- I too would give this 10 stars if I could! An elegant granting of a longtime wish.
- Angus Tang
- Good extension. It will be nice if there are more options for New Tab, like the the new tab position (e.g. left/right to the current tab).
