...doesn't work - back to the drawing board
It's worked perfectly for a long time, but it just started popping new tabs on little javascript commands such as a collapse menu or selecting next month on a calendar drop-down.
Worked great fro about a month and then it quit working.
A great improvement would be to change the cursor to a plus sign when hovering external links.
Doesn't work
Sadly this excellent extension has stopped working for me.Linux, Chromium, DuckDuckGo.
Now it's working again on Google.
Simple and useful!
