Tap To Tab Extension

Designed specifically for touch-screen tablets and laptops with trackpads (which don't have a right-click mouse button).

It works similar to the \"open link in new tab\" option in the popup menu when you right-click on a link, but this method is faster, because right-clicking is a slow process without an external mouse.

No longer will you have to hold down the button and wait for the popup menu, or perform complex mouse gestures to accomplish this seemingly common task.

Just double tap or double click on the link to open it in a new tab.

In the settings window you can change whether (1) tabs open at front; (2) tabs open next to current tab; (3) blacklist certain websites.

The A Man (ID: 0000009dcb1ff7e6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/05/2023 I use it with the "Focus the newly opened tab" setting. Middle click for opening in background as a new tab. Can't thank you enough; absolutely changed my life!!!

Sam Nordberg (ID: 0000000367ff5439) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/17/2023 Not bad, and the only one of its kind in the Chrome Extensions store that actually works. Although it seems to require the content on the page to be "settled" before it works. If the page, or any interactive content, is still loading, it misses the double click. Otherwise, this is the best you'll get!

David Smalley (ID: 000000659a7bbd01) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/25/2022 So it works for Android (kiwi browser), but not quite as described. It will only open the new window on top, despite it being set to "open to background". If you could fix that, Of give 5 stars all day and tell all my friends!
