----------------------------------------
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.

失效了。还是需要按住cmd点击才可以在新tab页打开链接
Thank you thank you for creating this simple but very useful app, I love it. Of course it wouldn't be necessary if Google would just build the option into Chrome like most other browsers do.
I absolutely love this extension. I don't know why this isn't the default behavior when you click on a link, or at least a configurable option. When I click on a link it's because I want to see the content, not load it in the background!
После первого запуска браузера, открывается страница по умолчанию, которая больше всего нравится этому разширению, а нужно чтоб оно игнорировало этот момент, а что если у меня 100 вкладок, и я сейчас на 73, а ЭТО разширение все время открывает 52 вкладку... Нужно фиксить это, чего ждем ?
Works great....Thanks !
Does not work for middle click on home page button. Otherwise fine. Ctrl + Shift does the same without extension.
This is perfect. Just what I need. When I open a new tab, it pops up right then and there, not in the background.
The ridiculous part of all this is that someone had to build an extension for something that should be a simple setting in the browser. If people has to build an extension for every basic but not implemented setting in Chrome, then the browser will be cluttered with extensions. Edit 2026: Anyway it's been working flawlessly, Small footprint. I'm still waiting for google to put such a basic setting In Chrome to work.
For the first few days, I LOOOOOOVED this app, but then it occurred to me what it is I am actually looking for—an app that allows you to click a link and rather than have it open in its current window, it would actually OPEN and ACTIVATE a new tab!! Additionally, being able to adjust the behaviour of various other gestures, such as right-click or double-click (double-tap, if you are using a trak pad like me), to personalize our tab and window functionality all in ONE app would be a godsend!!! Apparently, what I am looking for doesn't exist in one but rather across FOUR xtensions! This one, Long Press New Tab, Tap To Tab, and newTab. This also does not account for being able to designate what a new BLANK tab should be, so in that case you would also need New Tab Redirect—so FIVE DIFFERENT plugins! I IMPLORE the xtensions community to create an ALL-IN-ONE xtension to personalize our Chrome browsing experience.
