DoubleClicker Extension

Easily open links in new tabs by double clicking rather than right clicking on the link and then clicking \"Open link in new tab\". Very handy tool for googling and general searching.

Doesn't currently work on MacOS! Sorry Apple!

Any feedback or advice is very much appreciated, thanks in advance!

左之場備鎚 (ID: 000000d9f40f752d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/10/2021 ”LongClick New Tab opens" is the page in the background, but also opens the same page in the foreground. This add-on is same too. Is this caused by specifications by the update of chrome? Anyway, this add-on is useless.
