Opening a link in a new tab can happen several ways:

- Middle-click
- Control + click
- Right-click > Open link in new tab
- Website design
- and more

Chrome opens these new tabs in the background and provides no option to switch to them immediately.

With Tab Activate, new tabs open immediately instead of in the background.

To override Tab Activate and open a new tab in the background, press the Shift key while opening the new tab.

Tab Activate effectively reverses Chrome's new tab focus behavior.

In other browsers, this setting is called: "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately."

Required Permissions

Read and change all your data on the websites you visit:
Required to detect when the Shift key is pressed (no website data is read or changed).

Due to limitations in the Chrome extension API, the only way to detect if the Shift key is being pressed is with the required permissions. Absolutely no data is changed or collected.
