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.

- Chris Vydas
- 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.
