Review Summary
Users find Link Blanker very useful and convenient for opening links in new background tabs with customizable options. However, they consistently mention issues with the removal of the toggle shortcut key in version 3.0.0, causing inconvenience. Some sites like YouTube and speedtest.net experience problems opening links improperly in new tabs. Users also want improved settings management and reliability in domain-specific disabling features. Overall, the extension fills an important gap with mostly positive feedback despite a few notable drawbacks.
Pros
- Very convenient and helpful for opening links in new tabs, especially for users who like opening multiple tabs or prefer background tab opening.
- Simple and intuitive to use with clean and neat interface, works precisely as described.
- Useful options such as disabling the function for same domain links, giving users control over how links open.
- Allows middle-click to open links in foreground tabs, enhancing browsing experience.
- Highly appreciated by users switching from other browsers or extensions who lacked the feature in Chrome.
Cons
- Version 3.0.0 removed the shortcut key toggle for enabling/disabling the extension, which many users found essential and miss greatly.
- In compatibility issues with certain sites like YouTube and speedtest.net where links that should not open in new tabs do so, causing usability problems.
- Some links, such as on Twitter images or survey sites, do not open in new tabs as expected.
- Lack of ability to export/import settings causes inconvenience when reinstalling or migrating.
- Occasionally the "disable on same domain" feature does not always apply correctly and could be improved.
