Open Link In Foreground Tab

Download extension

Opens links in a new foreground tab instead of in the background.This extension activates newly opened tabs instead of opening them in the background. The default behavior in Chrome when clicking on a link with the "_blank" target, or by CTRL/CMD clicking on a link, is to open the tab in the background. Most browsers allow changing this behavior in the Preferences menu; for Chrome, disable this extension to have new tabs open in the background, enable it to open new tabs in the foreground.

Updated to work with "modern" versions of Chrome.
