Al Howarth (ID: 000000cc4d6775b4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/01/2019 This WAS a great extension. It is no longer working. As the last update was nearly 5 years ago, I assume it's abandonware.

Cavin Leske (ID: 0000009f9d959933) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/28/2018 Per my rating, I "loved it". Unfortunately, I no longer love it. It seems to be interfering with Hulu and Amazon Video services. When I could no longer watch videos in either of those services without switching to FireFox, I eventually disabled this extension and my problems were solved. I hate to remove this extension as it makes opening links in new tabs so much faster, but sadly I must. Honestly this should be Chrome's default behavior, or at least there should be an option for it. Perhaps I should just switch back to FireFox, which is once again a decent alternative.

Tim Desmond (ID: 00000027c09dbb20) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/23/2018 I was going crazy trying to figure out why middle click was not working. I thought it was the mouse or Windows 10.
