Open Bookmarks in New Tab

Automatically opens clicked bookmarks in a new tab, preserving your current page.

--- Tired of losing your current page every time you click a bookmark? This extension makes every bookmark open in a new tab by default — your current page stays exactly where it is. How It Works The extension rewrites your bookmark URLs with a special prefix (newtab@) that triggers a local redirect within the extension. When you click a bookmark, the redirect is intercepted, cancelled, and the original URL opens in a new tab. Your current tab is never navigated — videos keep playing, forms stay filled, nothing is interrupted. Features - Open all bookmarks in a new tab automatically - Toggle the extension on/off at any time — bookmarks are restored instantly - Choose whether the new tab gets focus or opens in the background - Place new tabs at the end of the tab bar or right next to the current tab - New bookmarks are automatically handled while the extension is active - Smart empty-tab detection — if your current tab is a blank new tab, the bookmark opens there instead of creating another tab - No external servers — everything runs locally within the extension - Clean, dark-themed settings popup Open Source This extension is fully open source.

The following prefix will be added to your bookmark addresses: • https://newtab@... For example, https://google.com becomes https://newtab@google.com. This prefix is harmless and invisible during normal use. Bookmarks for internal pages (chrome://, edge://) are not modified. You can always revert your bookmarks to their original URLs — just open the extension popup and toggle the switch to OFF. --- 📋 Uninstall Instructions If you've decided to uninstall the extension, please follow these steps BEFORE removing it: 1. Click the extension icon in your toolbar 2. Toggle the switch to the OFF position 3. Wait for the status to confirm bookmarks have been restored 4. You can now safely uninstall the extension This will restore all your bookmarks to their original URLs and prevent any unexpected behavior after removal. ---
