What is Tabloc?

'Tabloc' is a unique Firefox add-on designed to enhance your browsing experience by adding a 'Lock Tab' button. This feature allows you to click on links on a locked tab, and rather than replacing your current page, it opens them in a new tab. Options to open tabs in the foreground or background, customize the position of new tabs, exclude in-page links and forms, and even lock tabs with specific URLs are available. You can also customize the 'Lock Tab' button icons for a more personalized web surfing experience.
