Good add-on idea,but it blinks when i open a link in new tab,please FIX it.
Works as advertised!! Really my only question is how Feedly can get so much right, and then SCREW THIS UP. without this feature, your surfing speed is literally cut in half! while you endlessly watch your browser load. Thanks YUCHEN!!!
Works Fine with Feedly
Great! Works on Gmail & GReader now. Good Bye Firefox.
For some reason certain images don't work in opening in background tabs. But seems to work for the most part
I am getting 2 identical tabs when using Google reader also. This started within the past week or so.
i click a link in google reader and it opens 2 identical tabs? didn't do it before.
Does not work, or works but not the way it should work. Opens new links in background, but Chrome steals focus. The desired behaviour should be that link just opens in the background tab and Chrome does not steal focus.
when i click a new link i like that link to open in new tab in background and it works. The ony bug that i know is that he makes a flash when open de link in new tab.
Great, but one small annoying bug: The first time a tab is launched after the browser starts, it will not launch as a background tab. Next ones are fine.
