Benjamin Issenmann (ID: 0000004541a7f4ac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/23/2017 Opening a new tab shouldn't take your attention away. I built this extension because I was annoyed with all the existing, attention seeking, new tab extensions. This extension does nothing at all, it's boring. Enjoy a cluttered free tab for a cluttered free thinking :)
