Jacob Thompson (ID: 000000c9255282a5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/09/2015 Useless. Just press CTRL+T and guess what happens? A new tab! whoah! there is already a key to open a new tab, why would I need a plugin to attach itself to a different key for the same function? I wouldn't.

Jon Rutlen (ID: 00000045be18942c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/16/2014 Useless. Still activates capslock when used, so when it comes to typing something anywhere, it's a gamble if capslock is on or off. If it has turned on, you then have to turn it off, which guess what, opens a new tab, taking you away from the current one you want to be on.
