Elliot B. Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 When I middle-click on a link in Chrome, it opens the new tab in the background. How can I make it switch to that tab automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a setting on your end that was changed or a plugin? I have a vanilla install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The default seems to be to open the new tab in the foreground. What addons have you installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiB3R Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Try and find a Tab Mix Plus alternative for chrome. Not sure there is anything quite as amazeballs, but there must be something that will do the basics. I'd like to know myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
