Lotzy (ID: 00000000736f0121) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/24/2022 Excellent! Does what it says, and will not conflict with tab groups, expanding them all on Chrome start as some other extensions do.

Alexander Olsson (ID: 0000008d6740deb7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/28/2019 Well this is not what I wanted. When you open a new website with a lot of content you want that in the background for later reading as you continue to browse the main tab. BUT when you open a new empty tab you want it directly highlighted BC when you open an empty tab you probably wanna use it straight away. This changed with the latest Chrome update in dec 2019.
