Tiny Tiny RSS Open in Background Tab Extension

When Google Reader announced it was shutting down, I moved to Tiny Tiny RSS. In Tiny Tiny RSS, the standard action for opening links in a new tab also raises the tab, interrupting your consumption of the feeds.

This Chrome extension lets you configure a shortcut key to open items in a background tab. In conjunction with the googlereaderkeys Tiny Tiny RSS plugin you can have a pretty efficient process for reading feeds.

Plum Lee (ID: 000000ccae908b80) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/09/2019 I have been using this extension quite nicely but since the latest tt-rss update the v button (open in background) won't work anymore. Is this only for me??
