Extension Metadata

About this extension
A lightweight Firefox extension that ensures Ctrl+LeftClick (or Cmd+LeftClick on macOS) always opens links in a new background tab, even on sites that try to override or block the default behaviorks in a new tab. Made with AI.

Restores standard browser behavior: Ctrl/Cmd + left-click opens links in a new tab.
Works across all websites via a content script that intercepts clicks and opens links through the extension.
Minimal permissions: tabs and access to pages (<all_urls>).
No data collection or telemetry: data_collection_permissions explicitly declares no consent required.
