Short answers to what people ask before installing
It forces links on websites you choose to open in a new tab instead of the current one, so the page you are reading stays put. A whitelist decides which domains get this behaviour — nothing else on the web is touched.
The extension is built for Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers that support Manifest V3 — Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi all work. Firefox and Safari users should install the Tampermonkey userscript version instead.
No. Links are only rewritten on domains you add to the whitelist. Every other site keeps its default behaviour, which keeps the change predictable and avoids breaking layouts you did not opt into.
Yes. A MutationObserver watches for newly inserted links, so content loaded by infinite scroll, a "load more" button or client-side navigation is handled the same way as the initial HTML.
No. Settings and the whitelist are kept in chrome.storage.sync, which stays inside your browser and syncs through your own Chrome account when signed in. There is no analytics, no third-party service and no server of ours involved.
Yes. It is released under the MIT license and the full source is on GitHub at github.com/shiroixw/OpenInNewTab.
