Description
When you open a link in a new tab, Chrome opens the new tab in the background and provides no option to switch to it immediately.
With Tab Activate, new tabs open immediately instead of in the background.

Works like a charm! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! (I fail to understand why this is not a standard option in Chrome settings.)
Enabling this extension will cause Google Chrome to attempt to load all tabs when it is restarted. As a result, Google Chrome will be unresponsive. The only available option is to forcibly close the application. If you attempt to force quit Google Chrome, you will find that you cannot disable or remove the extension. This is because the extension will behave the same the next time you start it. The extension does work as it claims, it is not a good extension for users who have many tabs open all the time. I disabled all extensions installed in Google chrome and enabled them one by one and found that it is this extension that is the cause. For users who only have a few tabs open.
Excellent, just what I needed! Now I wish to find an extension which could control where in a row of open tabs the new link or duplicated tab opens - at the beginning, to the left or right of the original tab, or at the end of all open tabs. There was a number of such extensions but Google killed them all :(
well done, work as expected
Супер. Наконец то можно автоматически переходить на новую вкладку открытую по СКМ.
I made a new extension based on this one: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tab-activate-v2/anpjffgglpjkiiaabhmhihckcghknmbp It's exactly the same extension but it will prevent focusing tabs when Chrome starts which will prevent loading every tabs in memory. Enjoy!
Was looking for an extension that did this. Works on Version chrome 130.0.6723.92 does what it says and was just what i needed. Thanks
Simple, working well on Vivaldi desktop, Linux. Thanks.
Does not work on my version of Chrome which is the latest version.
I was having trouble with "Switch to new tab 1.0" versus LastPass auto-logout. This works! Thank you for something that should be in the regular settings!
