Right Click Opens Link in a Background Tab Chrome Extension Image 1

Description

This extension makes right clicking on links open the link in a new background tab. In short, the same behavior as middle mouse click or Cmd + Click on a link, but for the right mouse button. This makes opening links in new tabs a breeze on modern trackpads, where gestures already allow you to do most navigation operations without ever needing your keyboard.

This extension requires the following permissions:

  • Access to your tabs. This is required to add new tabs in the correct order.
  • Access to all pages. This is required to listen for right clicks on links.

This extension does not gather any sort of analytics, tracking, or other such information.
