I use to work like this in Safari. Now this extension brings that subtle yet amazing functionality to Chrome. Big thank you.

Good for CTRL + T but doesn't replicate exactly how it is on Firefox which is what i wanted.

Example on Firefox if you middle-click the YouTube logo on youtube.com it will open a new tab but not focus on it.

Does what it says in a small package!

Reality Check

I just downloaded this so have only minimal testing, but it seems to work well, quickly opening a link when I middle click on the mouse button and moving the focus to the new tab. I don't know why Vivaldi (which I'm also just starting to use) doesn't offer something similar as an option. Instead you have to either right click the link and chose to open it in a new tab that also gets the focus, or you have to use a keyboard modifier.

I will say this extension may not be what everyone wants. Unless I'm missing something (like I said, I'm new to this) there is no longer an option to open a link in a new background tab. Even using right-click and selecting that option, it still moves the focus to the new tab. That doesn't bother me, but it might bother others.

I only want a change of focus for new (blank) tabs. Otherwise, I prefer to load a bunch of tabs in the background before I navigate to them. Is there a configuration setting for this?
