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.

Works. The original tabs to the front was taken over, I suddenly saw AI tabs something asking for permissions, immediately uninstalled. Web Store security is not as good as it should be as this should not happen.

新しく開いたタブを前面に表示する、という簡単な拡張機能です。「Tabs to the Front」という、ほぼ同じ内容の拡張機能があったのですが、そちらが使用できなくなくなってしまったためこちらを使用しました。 「New tabs to the front」という拡張機能もあるのですが、v2の方が最終更新日時が新しいという点と、特別な権限を要求しないという点で、v2の方が使いやすいと感じています。

Easy enough. Simple and seems to work. Switched after original Tabs to Front was changed to some sketchy AI app.

Does exactly what it says. Why this isn't a built-in option in Chrome I have no idea.

Would be great if Shift+Middle Click would open the tab in the background, i.e. have the default behavior flipped on its head. Right now, with this extension active I completely lose the ability to quickly open a tab in the background, with the only option left being the context menu. Any chances this feature gets implemented? I'd be glad to help out.

Just installed it after "Tabs to the Front!" is now some weird and rather non-functional AI stuff. Very happy to find this small but very useful alternative.

Happy for this as the original extension now requires permissions to read all web data and uses AI to do a very simple task that should be a feature of chrome to begin with

I installed it. I configured it in developer mode. I used it by right clicking on a link and selecting the Open Link in New Tab command. The resutt was the link opened in a new tab, and the focus was switched to the new tab. Viola! Thank you and God bless you!

it generally works but sometimes fails in Vivaldi.
