Description from store

This is a pain not to being aware whether clicking on a link will open a new tab or not. To avoid this issue, this extension brings a different cursor on new tab link openers.

Besides it is possible to switch between opening new tab or not by pressing the `Ctrl`/`Cmd` + `Shift` keys.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Unfortunately the extension looks un-updated for 6 years since 2017. I'm also thinking knowing this in advance (before hovering over, by modifying link color or appending an icon into the link) would be a great option!
