Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Link Control gives you the power to decide how links open in your browser, helping you to ensure a consistent and uncluttered browsing experience.
Always Open Links in the Same Tab:
Prevent websites like eBay and Etsy from opening new tabs with every product click. Enable this option to keep your browsing streamlined in a single tab.
Always Open Links in a New Tab:
If you prefer to open each link in a new tab, this feature is perfect for you. It’s ideal for research, comparison shopping, or simply keeping your main tab uncluttered.

Wow, installiert. Änderungen für Aliexpress geändert. Chrome neu gestartet und plötzlich öffnet sich Ali nur noch in einem Tab und nicht in zig verschiedenen. Klasse. Danke für das Tool ;)
Happy
does not work on youtube
yeah but I want tabs to open in the background tho
Tried it on youtube and google, doesnt work at all
I literally just started using it so far THANK GOD THERE IS FINALLY A SOLUTION FOR CHROME OPENING UP A NEW TAB EVERYTIME I CLICK ON A RESULT!!!!! Highly recommend :)
This extension used to work, but now it appears to have stopped. For example, a new tab now opens when clicking a different google account to switch to it on a google app page, despite link control global or site settings set to open in same tab. Back to the original drag to url bar method 🤦🏻♂️
Excellent. Thanks for fixing Etsy's dreadful default behaviour!
Was hoping it give control over external links (such as bookmarks placed on a PC's desktop), but seems they're not supported.
Finally, something that does this!
