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.

This is the only app providing the solution to this problem. Thank you so much!
I've been using this extension for years. When I right-click a link and select "Open in a new tab" I expect the tab to then take focus; this extension does that.
А что нельзя было сделать, чтоб закладки тоже открывались в новой вкладке? Хром вообще оборзел, не делает эту опцию, и расширения не доделанные какие то! И не могу найти расширения, чтоб закладки открывались в новой вкладке, как в других браузерах!!!
Operates well with Open Last Tab. Well done! Slowly bringing Tab Mix + functionality to Chrome/Brave piece by piece
Thank you so much for making this extension. Why this isn't an option in Chrome after all of these years is a mystery to me? If you're a fan of FIREFOX'S Tab Switching. Then you need this extension. 10/10 stars. PERFECT! I don't know what else to say besides, the fact that this isn't an option in Chrome is an absolute let down.

In other browsers, this setting is called: "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately." That better describes what is the essential behavior of this extension. I care little if it is slightly less than immediate -- take whatever time is needed to open the link, but switch to it when you do.

I have this on the latest edition of Microsoft Edge and it works like a charm, simple and effective.
Thank you so much for making this extension. We are so grateful to you for making our life easier.
