too bad you can't turn it off and on while keeping the extension active. you either activate it (which enables it to stay on the extension bar), or deactivate it (which gets rid of it from the extension bar). i want it to stay on the bar (active) but i can turn it on/off without the hassle of finding it again and again among other extensions when i deactivate it.
完美 chrome很多方面真的不如360人性化
I do most of my work in a browser and there are certain instances that I need to click on a few links. Before this extension, I would click on a link, be forced to the new tab and have to click back to the old tab. This extension just lets me click on the multiple links without forcing me to the new tab. Saves me so much time and sanity. 4 Stars. I would give it 5 stars if I was able to toggle it on and off when the extension is pinned to my browser.
теперь все новые вкладки и окна открываются в фоне, то что мне и нужно
I don't know about the other negative reviews because this definitely works for me for pop-up tabs that open when you try to click download on some sites especially now that Manifest V3 ruined some good extensions we used to have.
No entiendo que se supone que hace, lo usé un par de minutos en Brave.
Doesn't work
LOVE this in Chrome! Unfortunately it won't work for externally clicked links (so from my mail program for example, or the feed reader) in Vivaldi 7.5. I would LOVE for this to work there as well since the Vivaldi developers are not planning on adding the option anytime soon, even though we've been asking many times.
되긴 되는데 간헐적으로 안됨
There is not a clear explanation of what this does. I installed it and tried everything but it does not open links in a background tab as I desired.
