Description

I designed this for use on Chrome OS, but it will work just as well if you're using the browser on another platform.

When you click a link, instead of opening in the current tab, a little message box will popup allowing you to choose whether to open in a new tab or the current tab. This is especially useful due to right clicking on the Cr-48 being a bit sketchy.

=Notes=
*I would've used something more conventional than ` for the hotkey to shut off the menubox, but shift, alt, ctrl, and so forth were already being used for something else link related.

*When you enable/disable this: it won't affect tabs that were already open.

==Specific problematic sites==
*Facebook has some problems with the functionality with this. It's probably because FB itself is a mess of disheveled code.
*Google will display the menubox but then decide to follow the link anyway despite my urging it not to. However, sometimes it will work properly.
*W3Schools likes stretching the menubox.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
