About

Force any link, button, or JavaScript navigation to open in a new tab — even on sites where Ctrl+Click doesn’t work.

Many modern websites use buttons or custom JavaScript navigation instead of normal links. That means:

Ctrl+Click doesn’t open a new tab
You lose your place when browsing
You can’t easily compare pages or products

This extension fixes that.

It automatically forces navigation to open in a new tab, so you can keep your current page while exploring others.

🚀 Why install it?
Never lose your place while browsing
Works where other extensions fail (buttons, JS navigation, SPAs)
Fixes broken Ctrl+Click behavior on modern sites
Perfect for research, shopping, and multitasking

✅ What it supports
Regular links (<a href>)
Buttons and clickable elements
JavaScript navigation (window.location, routers, SPA frameworks)
Sites where links are hidden behind scripts

⚙️ Features
Enable globally or only on selected sites/pages
Wildcard support (e.g. *.example.com, site.com/path/*)
Lightweight and fast
Optional silent confirmation

Take control of your browsing and open everything in a new tab — the way it should work.
