Overview
Forces all standard links (<a> tags) on a webpage to open in a new browser tab.
Open Link In New Tab is a simple, lightweight, and essential Chrome extension designed to enforce a consistent browsing experience: every standard link you click opens in a new tab. Tired of links hijacking your current tab? This extension runs silently in the background, automatically modifying all standard anchor tags (<a>) on a webpage to ensure they use target="_blank". This prevents accidental navigation away from the page you are currently viewing, making your research, reading, and general browsing workflow much more efficient. Key Features: Universal New Tab Behavior: Forces all static and dynamically loaded links on every website to open in a new tab. Seamless Integration: Runs quietly in the background without interfering with the webpage's user interface. Global Toggle: Easily enable or disable the extension's core functionality with a single switch in the toolbar popup. The state is remembered across sessions. Dynamic Content Support: Uses a Mutation Observer to automatically process links loaded via JavaScript or AJAX after the initial page load. Simply install it, set your preference, and enjoy uninterrupted browsing!
