Open link in foreground tab
Description from store

This extension adds a context menu that allows you to open a link in a new foreground tab.

SOURCE CODE: http://goo.gl/Seob (GitHub)

As a feature bonus, when you close a foreground tab, instead of picking a random tab to close, it closes the tab that opened the foreground. This imitates the same functionality of 'Open new tab'.

Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + <Click with Mouse on Link>

Donations

- Many people have asked me for donations, but I rather code for fun and releasing extensions that the users want. Everything I do is OpenSource and I hope the source that I Open Source will intrigue others to Software Development.
- I decided to place a PayPal donation link here, so if you would like to donate to support my Open Source development, you can visit the PayPal donations link here http://goo.gl/Mr2vX
- With the money I receive I will be donating to many charities.

Does exactly what it says it does.

The whole point was to get a context menu entry with the addition of this extension, yet, no context menu entry has been added! It is not there. Menu remains unchanged.

I was looking for a function to do this, but now I've just noticed that ctrl+shift click opens links in new tabs in the foreground even WITHOUT this extension... sorry!
