Description

Open Tabs In Foreground

Open Tabs In Foreground
=======================

Clicking a link using the left mouse button while having Ctrl pressed opens it
in a background tab by default. The same when using the middle mouse button.
This extension opens these tabs in the foreground instead. Tabs are only opened
in the background when having Shift pressed while clicking.

You won't need this extension in Firefox as it has a setting for this called
`When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately`, but in Chrome
there is no way to achieve this otherwise.

Nice one, thanks a lot. I would give the fifth star for the same behavior when openning tabs from the bookmark bar - it works just in the opposite way than clicking on a link.
