Description from store
This extension configures your bookmarks to always open in a new tab.

🚀 No setup needed, just install the extension.
✅ Supports bookmarks from the bookmarks bar, folders, and the bookmarks manager.
❗️If you're using Firefox or Vivaldi, you don't need this extension — the feature is already built-in:

- Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1316474
Why isn’t it built into Chrome? 🤷♂️
☝️ A Quick Heads-Up
Despite its apparent simplicity, the extension uses several technical tricks to work correctly. Please note: it will modify your bookmark URLs after installation — this is the only way to make bookmarks consistently open in a new tab.
You can always revert your bookmarks to their original URLs — just open the extension options and toggle the switch into OFF.
ℹ️ Known Limitations
1. Some bookmarks may temporarily lose their icons. Once you click a bookmark, the icon will be restored.
2. Some websites may show a popup: "Leave site?" [Cancel] [Leave]
Despite the message, you can click [Leave] — your page will be preserved and the bookmark will open in a new tab.
🗑️ Uninstall Instructions
If you’ve decided to uninstall the extension:
1. Open the extension settings
2. Toggle the switch to the OFF position
This will restore your bookmarks to their original state and prevent any unexpected behavior after extension removal.
