New Tab is a free Chrome add-on developed by Thinh Nguyen. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This add-on aims to solve the inconvenience of opening external links in the same tab while using platforms like Google Search, Jira, and Stackoverflow.

Often, when conducting research on Stackoverflow or managing tasks on Jira, clicking on an external link would replace the current tab, making it difficult to access other relevant information. With New Tab, users can now open external links on a new tab, ensuring a seamless browsing experience and uninterrupted workflow.

By simply installing this extension, users can avoid the hassle of constantly navigating back and forth between tabs, allowing for better multitasking and improved productivity.
