Description from extension meta
Double-click (double tap) on a link to open it in a new Tab. Designed for tablets and laptop trackpads.

Description from store
Designed specifically for touch-screen tablets and laptops with trackpads (which don't have a right-click mouse button).
It works similar to the "open link in new tab" option in the popup menu when you right-click on a link, but this method is faster, because right-clicking is a slow process without an external mouse.
No longer will you have to hold down the button and wait for the popup menu, or perform complex mouse gestures to accomplish this seemingly common task.
Just double tap or double click on the link to open it in a new tab.
In the settings window you can change whether (1) tabs open at front; (2) tabs open next to current tab; (3) blacklist certain websites.

- hello dev, the extension is disabled by chrome due to recent enforcement of manifest v3. Do you have any plans of upgrading the extension? Biiiiiig fan of the extension.

- AMAZING and so easy, I hate right-clicking on my Macbook trackpad and arduously moving my pointer to a drop down, then to the new tab when I'm doing online shopping or Pinterest board organizing. 🙄 pairs great with Tab Activate extension as well, which switches to a newly created tab automatically. thank you, developer! 🫡
- Eric Liu
- This works flawlessly. One suggestion, add an option to have 1 tap to open in new tab.
- Alexander Malyshev
- This thing should be implemented in Chrome by default!
- Pratik Singh
- excellent extension! unfortunately, due to the recent update, this extension is no longer supported. is it possible for you to make this extension the new manifest compliant?

- I use it with the "Focus the newly opened tab" setting. Middle click for opening in background as a new tab. Can't thank you enough; absolutely changed my life!!!

- Not bad, and the only one of its kind in the Chrome Extensions store that actually works. Although it seems to require the content on the page to be "settled" before it works. If the page, or any interactive content, is still loading, it misses the double click. Otherwise, this is the best you'll get!

- So it works for Android (kiwi browser), but not quite as described. It will only open the new window on top, despite it being set to "open to background". If you could fix that, Of give 5 stars all day and tell all my friends!

- it's what I've always been looking for, thanks to the developer for creating it but I would like it to have more customization options like triple click or (some key + # clicks).

- Funziona perfettamente! Quel che dice fa, veramente pratica. Ottimo lavoro! Ce n'era bisogno dato che Chrome non provvede a queste funzionalità!
- Sean Yu
- Very useful! I wonder why Chrome doesn't have the option to open the link in a new tab automatically...

- FINALLY...an extension that lets me open the links I want to (and ONLY the ones I want to) in a new tab, one-handed, on a laptop with a trackpad (no mouse, no right-click button). It's easy to use and it works flawlessly. I think I tried every other Chrome extension for opening links in a new tab before I found this one. I gave up and deleted all the rest but this one I'm keeping. Thanks!!

- Good idea, but breaks the Watch Later and Add to Queue links on Youtube thumbnails. It causes the video to launch on the same tab.

- At the youtube.com website double clicking on a link in the side bar brings up the title of the chosen video but NOT the video itself. The video is the same both before and after the double click.

- It works exactly as described. Using surface book in tablet mode, this is exactly what i was looking for. Thanks devs. Definitely a time saver for opening new links as tabs in background.
