Open Bookmarks In New Tab

---
Tired of losing your current page every time you click a bookmark? This
extension makes every bookmark open in a new tab by default — your current
page stays exactly where it is.

How It Works

The extension rewrites your bookmark URLs with a special prefix (newtab@) that
triggers a local redirect within the extension. When you click a bookmark,
the redirect is intercepted, cancelled, and the original URL opens in a new
tab. Your current tab is never navigated — videos keep playing, forms stay
filled, nothing is interrupted.

Features

- Open all bookmarks in a new tab automatically
- Toggle the extension on/off at any time — bookmarks are restored instantly
- Choose whether the new tab gets focus or opens in the background
- Place new tabs at the end of the tab bar or right next to the current tab
- New bookmarks are automatically handled while the extension is active
- Smart empty-tab detection — if your current tab is a blank new tab, the
bookmark opens there instead of creating another tab
- No external servers — everything runs locally within the extension
- Clean, dark-themed settings popup

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: This extension will modify your bookmark URLs after
installation — this is the only way to make bookmarks consistently open in a
new tab. The following prefix will be added to your bookmark addresses:

• https://newtab@...

For example, https://google.com becomes https://newtab@google.com. This prefix
is harmless and invisible during normal use. Bookmarks for internal pages
(chrome://, edge://) are not modified.

You can always revert your bookmarks to their original URLs — just open the
extension popup and toggle the switch to OFF.

📋 Uninstall Instructions

If you've decided to uninstall the extension, please follow these steps BEFORE
removing it:

1. Click the extension icon in your toolbar
2. Toggle the switch to the OFF position
3. Wait for the status to confirm bookmarks have been restored
4. You can now safely uninstall the extension

This will restore all your bookmarks to their original URLs and prevent any
unexpected behavior after removal.
