About

A clean and lightweight tool that automatically opens external links in a new tab — with full per-site control.

This extension improves your browsing experience by preventing external links from unexpectedly replacing your current page. All external URLs open in a separate tab, while internal navigation stays steady and uninterrupted.

A simple on/off toggle is available directly in the popup, allowing you to disable or enable the extension for the current domain. Your preference is saved and automatically applied across all subdomains.

What this extension does:

🔗 Automatically opens external links in a new tab

🏡 Keeps internal links in the same tab

🎛️ Per-domain on/off toggle

🌐 Subdomain-aware (example.com disables all *.example.com)

⚡ Lightweight and efficient

🔒 No data collection, no tracking, fully private

Perfect for documentation sites, work platforms, dashboards, knowledge bases, and any website where you want full control over your browsing flow.
