Al Howarth 2019-01-01: This WAS a great extension. It is no longer working. As the last update was nearly 5 years ago, I assume it's abandonware.

Cavin Leske 2018-10-28: Per my rating, I "loved it". Unfortunately, I no longer love it. It seems to be interfering with Hulu and Amazon Video services. When I could no longer watch videos in either of those services without switching to FireFox, I eventually disabled this extension and my problems were solved. I hate to remove this extension as it makes opening links in new tabs so much faster, but sadly I must. Honestly this should be Chrome's default behavior, or at least there should be an option for it. Perhaps I should just switch back to FireFox, which is once again a decent alternative.

Tim Desmond 2018-08-23: I was going crazy trying to figure out why middle click was not working. I thought it was the mouse or Windows 10.

rocketman5004 _ 2017-11-28: I always had it on, but unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore. Could you update it for the newest version of Chrome please?

Sören Beye 2016-10-14: Endlich eine Lösung für diesen Unsinn. Quellcode der Extension ist auch sauber und ohnehin nur eine einzige Zeile lang. Genau so muss das.

Acecool 2016-01-01: Didn't fix the bug with Chrome in the Chrome Store ( using middle click by holding it down to scroll and releasing breaks the page [ shows the scrolling down or up icon ] and prevents click events from ever being used on that tab again until you close the tab and re-open [ if you switch to a different site, it works fine, but you can't use that tab with the webstore anymore )

Thomas Fancy 2015-11-22: This did exactly what I hoped it would. 1 click fix. Free scrolling works with centre click again, and links open in a new tab.
