User reviews
in general, yes it works as you'd expect
*except for links on audius.co , but i imagine that's moreso a case of poor website design
however.. it would be nice if this extension worked even for odd edge cases like that
Не работает. Закладки открываются в новом окне, а не в новой вкладке.
Exactly what I need. But I had to browse through bunch of addons to spot it - search function doesn't work very well.
I have one suggestion: Would be possible to add option to open tab at the end of all open tabs and not next to current one?
Update: I just create new addon for myself and I removed index parameter for calling browser.tabs.create in background-script.js. This means to open tab as last.
