Opens external links in a new tab
Description from store

This small extension converts all external links to be opened in a new tab.

This simple, but useful functionality was inspired by some famous collaboration web sites where by default external links are opened in the same window and it cannot be changed.

It's worked perfectly for a long time, but it just started popping new tabs on little javascript commands such as a collapse menu or selecting next month on a calendar drop-down.

A great improvement would be to change the cursor to a plus sign when hovering external links.
