Overview

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. Feedback -------- You can report bugs or make feature requests on https://github.com/sblask/webextension-open-tabs-in-foreground Patches are welcome.
