Description

❤️ Once you try it, you’ll love how natural it feels ❤️ ❗️👇 Please, read the full description below 👇❗️ Despite its apparent simplicity, the extension uses several technical tricks to work correctly. 👉 PLEASE NOTE: it will modify your bookmark URLs after installation — this is the only way to make bookmarks consistently open in a new tab. The following prefixes will be added: - https://newtab@... - https://[email protected]/?url=... (some special URLs) ✅ You can always revert your bookmarks to their original URLs — just open the extension options and toggle the switch into OFF. ☝️ If you're using Firefox or Vivaldi, you don't need this extension — the feature is already built-in: - Vivaldi: https://vivaldi.com/blog/tips/tip-303/ - Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1316474 Why isn’t it built into Chrome? 🤷‍♂️ ℹ️ Known Limitations 1. Some bookmarks may temporarily lose their icons. Once you click a bookmark, the icon will be restored. 2. Some websites may show a popup: "Leave site?" [Cancel] [Leave] Despite the message, you can click [Leave] — your page will be preserved and the bookmark will open in a new tab. 🗑️ Uninstall Instructions If you’ve decided to uninstall the extension: 1. Open the extension settings 2. Toggle the switch to the OFF position This will restore your bookmarks to their original state and prevent any unexpected behavior after extension removal. 🔧 Technical details Learn how the extension works behind the scenes: https://dev.to/vitalets/open-bookmarks-in-a-new-tab-by-default-easier-said-than-done-a3n ❓ Need help?
