it works ! very very useful
It works with many sites but doesn't work with temu.com.
It works well for simple tab management but found it difficult to use with 20+ tabs open. I switched to Findr because it had features for extensive tab management and let me search for my used links saving me a lot of time. Worth a shot. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/findr-find-documents-mana/hbgjcippdhmfpkpfcnpimempnkimhein
Didn't create new tabs on any combination of settings. The interface was nice and professional looking so I gave it 2 stars.
Brilliant. So simple but so needed. I kiss you!
Works perfect, especially on eBay and AliExpress. But sadly to late for ebay, I've started using other sites :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I configured it for eBay; now my searches work exactly like they used to. Links open in the same tab, and the back arrow in either Chrome or eBay returns me to where I left off on the search results page.
Ohmigosh, thank you SO MUCH! Found this through an Etsy community thread that I discovered while madly researching how to make Etsy stop opening links in new tabs. I'm especially desperate now that Amazon has taken up the strategy. My laptop only has so much memory and Chrome is a real hog for it under normal circumstances! I can't have 20 Etsy tabs open on top of the ones I want open, and still have a functioning computer. The progressive adoption of this website behavior by other sites is another maddening slice of control taken away from the users and I resent it. THANK YOU for returning control to us!!
loved it thank you, helped with etsy opening new tabs all the time :)
Worked in Brave!!! There is another extension out there that is supposed to this but it never worked for me. I almost gave up when I happened upon this one. Thanks!!!
