About
Some websites are best enjoyed if their links are opened in a new tab. Open In New Tab allows you to decide which websites' links should be opened in a new tab, and whether the new tab should be displayed in the foreground (focused) or background. Note: Click on the the Refresh This Page button when you enable a new website. You only need to do this one time to make the extension active for that website.
