Tabs to Front v2 Extension

New tabs open immediately instead of in the background.
Update of original \"Tabs to the Front!\" by Abarth (2010).

Chrome opens new tabs in the background and provides no option to switch to them immediately. This extension forces new tabs to open immediately. Basic, no frills, no extra features.

Krzysztof Pawlak (ID: 000000d8d0817eac) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 Super.

John Lewis (ID: 0000008b5b8234dd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2022 I installed it. I configured it in developer mode. I used it by right clicking on a link and selecting the Open Link in New Tab command. The resutt was the link opened in a new tab, and the focus was switched to the new tab. Viola! Thank you and God bless you!

kai (ID: 000000ffab129588) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/06/2022 it generally works but sometimes fails in Vivaldi.

Lotzy (ID: 00000000736f0121) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/24/2022 Unfortunately even this extension will conflict with tab groups, expanding them all when Chrome starts.

Göran Löfström (ID: 0000001da5ed697c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2021 Perfect!
