HackerNews New Tab is a free Chrome add-on developed by Dave McCloskey. As the name suggests, this program causes all links to external sites from HackerNews to open in a new tab.

HackerNews New Tab is particularly useful for users who are accustomed to Reddit's automatic new tab opening feature. With this add-on, users no longer have to manually open external links in new tabs, saving them time and effort.

If you frequently visit HackerNews and find yourself frustrated with losing your current tab when clicking on external links, give HackerNews New Tab a try. It's a simple and convenient solution to enhance your browsing experience.
