Link Control Extension

Link Control gives you the power to decide how links open in your browser, helping you to ensure a consistent and uncluttered browsing experience.

Always Open Links in the Same Tab:
Prevent websites like eBay, Etsy, and Temu from opening new tabs with every click. Enable this option to keep your browsing streamlined in a single tab.

Always Open Links in a New Tab:
If you prefer to open each link in a new tab, this feature is perfect for you. It’s ideal for research, comparison shopping, or simply keeping your main tab uncluttered.

Customisable Behaviour for Specific Websites:
Conveniently configure how links open on individual websites according to your preferences, giving you complete control.

Z S (ID: 000000bcd21fa91a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/30/2023 It works with many sites but doesn't work with temu.com.

1030 Rassal Kumar (ID: 0000009077541dfc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/20/2022 It works well for simple tab management but found it difficult to use with 20+ tabs open. I switched to Findr because it had features for extensive tab management and let me search for my used links saving me a lot of time. Worth a shot. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/findr-find-documents-mana/hbgjcippdhmfpkpfcnpimempnkimhein

Poe (ID: 0000002935bc716d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/07/2022 Didn't create new tabs on any combination of settings. The interface was nice and professional looking so I gave it 2 stars.

Floggedhorse (ID: 00000091f58f6608) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/23/2021 Works perfect, especially on eBay and AliExpress. But sadly to late for ebay, I've started using other sites :)
