Summary

Workaround for address bar focus loss when new tabs (created with Ctrl+T) are moved to new windows.

Only tested with default blank page new tab. Future update necessary to use with custom new tab pages.

For those of you who frequently use the Ctrl+N hotkey to open new tabs (instead of the Ctrl+T hotkey), this extension might not be for you.

The source code is heavily commented, and might improved later. Please feel free to use the code in your own extensions.
