Pavel Nevermind (ID: 0000002b7dc87e87) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/29/2023 This extension saved my day when I had a list of 2800+ URLs I had to trace redirects with my browser cookies. Not a single fancy extension that was designed for the purpose but existing solely to gather personal data by sending back tracks to their servers could help me with that. Solved a puzzle with this one + bookmarks->"Save all open tabs" I had to repeat 28 times though =) THANK YOU!!!

Miles Tillinger (ID: 000000adc9623960) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/06/2023 Did do what it said it would do. I added a URL, clicked Go. It opened that URL in a new tab but did not open links in a new tab.

Jeff Kang (ID: 0000002a09eafe8b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/23/2022 Although it doesn't work in Reddit for me, thanks for the extension. (For now, I use an auto-clicker that clicks when the mouse stops moving plus locking Ctrl with the Microsoft on-screen keyboard. This allows me to send out Ctrl+Left-clicks, which is the same as the middle mouse button, which activates “Open link in new tab).
