Louis Keal 2021-11-19 A very useful little extension! Underrated ❤
Mary McGhee 2021-07-18 This is a really helpful add-on. I regularly visit a few pages (the New York Times is one) that don't take you back to the same point on the page when you follow a link and then return. This extension lets me view the linked page in a new tab and then pick up where I left off on the original one, without any extra clicks or keyboard shortcuts. Just one problem: When I've locked a tab, and I click a link, Chrome opens up TWO identical new tabs for that link. I can't figure out why, or how to stop it. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's annoying.
Raffhell Hadden 2020-04-14 Not bad. There is an issue. "In-line links" option also try to open in new background tab any button (which is probably unwanted). I know the extension is old, but maybe anyone managed to fix it ;)
Steve Robbins 2018-07-02 It doesn't work when clicking on the names on YouTube. Always opens on the same page. It's close, but no cigar. Would appreciate updates to handle these issues. I want to be able to click on any link without wiping out the 300 word post I'm almost finished with.
Dan Moorehead — PowerSheet.ai 2017-11-01 Very useful. Click toolbar icon (turning purple) to "Lock" a tab (different from Chrome's Lock) causing all link clicked to open in new tabs Issues: 1. Please allow middle click to open in current tab instead so don't have to disable to do. 2. Refresh causes tab to loose Locking (even ignoring auto-lock regex rule) 3. Auto-lock Regex Rules seem broken and non-intuitive, have to have .twitter.com. to work, when should match substring (eg. URL contains pattern) by default. Even https?://twitter\.com/.* fails for some reason. 4. Please show locking in tab (eg. color if possible, otherwise "?" prefix in tab title).
