Description from store
This extension makes right clicking on links open the link in a new background tab. In short, the same behavior as middle mouse click or Cmd + Click on a link, but for the right mouse button. This makes opening links in new tabs a breeze on modern trackpads, where gestures already allow you to do most navigation operations without ever needing your keyboard.
This extension requires the following permissions:
- Access to your tabs. This is required to add new tabs in the correct order.
- Access to all pages. This is required to listen for right clicks on links.
This extension does not gather any sort of analytics, tracking, or other such information.

- Isn't doing anything. I'll never find anything as good as Linkclump was.

- Works very well in Brave Browser. "Right Click Opens Link in a Background Tab" extension is very intuitive. While the "Left Click" opens a link in the same tab, the "Right Click" opens the link in a new tab. All browser systems should be designed this way in the first place. If I need to see the "context list" of the link, I just hold the "SHIFT" key while right clicking the link.

- This extension (Right Click Opens Link in a Background Tab) did NOTHING. Not only does it NOT open a new tab in the background, it doesn't even open a new tab at all. In other words, I still need to right-click on a link then select "Open link in new tab" in order to get Chrome to open that link in the background in a new tab. This makes me wonder why the Chrome programmers cannot give us an option (in Chrome itself, not in a separate extension) to select a mouse button that will actually open a link in the background in a new tab? This single feature makes my browsing in Firefox an extremely smooth and intuitive pleasure.

- With this extension installed, a right-click on a link opens that link in a new tab, but the tab is not opened in the background. Focus switches to that tab.
- Vincent Tuminello
- Works, exactly what I wanted, thank-you!
- Zvi Twersky
- This is a great idea, but there should be options, such as allowing it only to work (or temporarily disable it) with an additional key press (CTRL, SHFT, etc) because sometimes I need the right-click context menu.
