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.
Latest reviews
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.
Hmm ctrl middle mouse button very similar also ctrl left mouse button click does exactly what this does. Justin Cram DyingJedi
Perfect!!! Just what I needed. Quick kb shortcut for new tab and IN FOREGROUND. Thank you!
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!
