Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

New tabs open immediately instead of in the background.

Update of original "Tabs to the Front!" by Abarth (2010).

Chrome opens new tabs in the background and provides no option to switch to them immediately. This extension forces new tabs to open immediately. Basic, no frills, no extra features.

The best !

Definitely way better than that AI spyware, but not quite up to the level of the old extension. It would be nice to have the ability to temporarily disable the functionality through the extension icon, since it could be handy to turn it off for 5 or 15 minutes when I needed to open a bunch of tabs. The old extension had that before it went to the dark side. I'm giving this 5 stars to help promote it in search results, but with the missing functionality, it's really more of a 4-star for me. FAR better than nothing (and even nothing is WAY better than that AI spyware), but not quite up to what we used to have.

Like others have said, came here after the original tabs to the front changed to an AI program that wanted permissions it has no right to. Really this should be a default option in Chrome, yet here we are.

Apparently, the author of the original "Tabs to the Front" sold the extension to someone else for some reason. (Information is available in the review section of "AI Tab Optimizer Plus".) In the end, it's probably the malware author/distributor who got the right. The reason why "Tabs to the front" is automatically replaced with "AI Tab Optimizer Plus" is because Chrome believes that it is an updated version of the same extension ID, "Tabs to the front". We all "Tabs to the Front" users were lucky that Chrome was set to "not automatically enable updated extension if it requests additional permissions."

I came here and added this extension after the "Tabs to the Front" extension I had used for many years had been taken over by another extension with different functionality (not sure why that is permitted). This extension "Tabs to Front v2" gives me the functionality I needed. Very glad to have found this.

Excellent. "Fixes" Chrome's default behavior. Thanks for creating this! Like others, I found this after the original extension became corrupted with intrusive AI functionality I didn't want.

Works so far the way the original did. Hopefully that doesn't change. Strikes me as pretty sleazy that the old one was somehow taken over by that AI Tab Organizer B.S.
