Overview

Manage whether links are opened in the same tab or a new tab

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. Customisable Behaviour for Specific Websites: Conveniently configure how links open on individual websites according to your preferences, giving you complete control. ***PLEASE NOTE*** The extension cannot change the behaviour of links for every website as there are many methods that sites can use which prevent the functionality. Please report any sites where Link Control is not working using the Contact Us button in the extension - we will investigate and attempt to fix. Thanks :)
