Designed specifically for touch-screen tablets and laptops with trackpads (as those devices don't have mouses with two buttons) you can now double-click on any link to open it in a new tab.
This extension works similar to the "open link in new tab" option in the browser's popup menu. But this extension is faster, because performing the right-click action without an external mouse is much slower.
You can configure in the settings window to:
- show the newly opened tab; or open new tab in background
- Put new tab next to current tab; or put at the end of the tab strip
- Add any domain name into a blacklist
No longer will you have to hold down the button and wait for the popup menu, or perform complex mouse gestures to accomplish this seemingly common action.
Permissions disclosure:
This extension needs your browsers permission to "Access your data for all websites" because it needs to listen to websites to detect your double-click action.
