Not working anymore for chrome latest version
新しいタブがバックグラウンドで実行されない。アクティブになる。削除して追加したら一時的に直った。しかしまた機能しなくなった。私はBraveブラウザで使用しています。 New tabs do not run in the background. It becomes active. I deleted and added it and it temporarily fixed it. But it stopped working again. I am using it with Brave browser.
It's great and still working fine, but I'm sorry to see this message "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." in this page. I hope google respect users with special needs like this addon.
Not working anymore, and no alternatives that I could find. Sad.
Works fine but only most of the time on many websites. One where it's easy to reproduce: Civitai.com. If I middle click on links to open them in new tabs, VERY often Chrome takes me automatically to the newly opened tab. And I constantly need to go back to the tab I was browsing. This extension worked fine for years. But it's now struggling with more recent websites :/ Thanks for coding that extension in the first place anyway. It's been so useful for so long that it's only when it doesn't work properly on the whole internet anymore that we realize how much it's a useful feature that should be there by default :/ Hope you'll fine the time, and the need to someday update your extension. Cheers ;)
Tried to get BullX to load in background tabs. It didn't work. Not sure if it has anything to do with manifest 3. Bummer.
Stopped working?
not working as of today for me
Great extension but this needs to be ported to manifest v3.
Good
