Open Tabs In Foreground

Open Tabs In Foreground
=======================
Clicking a link using the left mouse button while having Ctrl pressed opens it
in a background tab by default. The same when using the middle mouse button.
This extension opens these tabs in the foreground instead. Tabs are only opened
in the background when having Shift pressed while clicking.
You won't need this extension in Firefox as it has a setting for this called
`When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately`, but in Chrome
there is no way to achieve this otherwise.

- (2021-11-14) Thomas Ho: It works, but it doesn't respect the tab order, and instead always open new tab at the end of tab bar.
- (2018-05-31) J.T. Brown III: This extension partially works but does not open the tab next to the current tab. Instead it opens the tab at the end of the tab bar. 5-stars if the developer can fix this...
- (2018-02-06) Rita Miller: Love it, but it should mention that you have to close & restart Chrome for it to work. Once that's done, it works fine. Just wish there was an option to open the tab next to the current one instead of at the right end of the tab bar. At least I got this (open link in foreground), so thanks for that!
