Auto New Tab: Effortless Link Management for Your Favorite Sites

Auto New Tab is a versatile and intelligent browser extension designed to enhance your web browsing experience by automatically opening links in new tabs according to your personalized preferences. Ideal for users who frequently multitask or navigate multiple websites simultaneously, this extension prevents losing your place by managing link behavior seamlessly. At its core is a powerful rules engine that enables you to specify which URLs should open in new tabs using convenient wildcard patterns, customizable on a per-site basis. Whether you want all links on a specific page to open in new tabs or prefer specificity, such as opening only account dashboards or confirmation pages separately, Auto New Tab puts comprehensive control directly in your hands through a user-friendly interface.

Unlike basic "open in new tab" tools, Auto New Tab offers per-site customization by allowing you to create distinct configuration "cards" for each domain or subdomain. Within each card, you can define granular rules based on URL patterns that determine link-opening behavior. You choose the default action for links on that site—opening in the same tab or a new tab—and override this default for particular types of links if desired. These settings are all accessible in an intuitive, easy-to-understand panel where adjustments take effect immediately without the need to reload pages. The extension supports dynamic web applications and single-page sites by intelligently responding to links generated after page load or URL changes, ensuring your rules apply consistently in all scenarios.

Additionally, the popup interface offers quick access to the extension’s status on the current site, allowing you to enable or disable Auto New Tab with a single click. Internally, it uses an efficient delegated click listener for optimal performance and compatibility with various websites. The rules system is flexible: you can add, edit, reorder, or delete cards and rules, assign exceptions, and set priorities tailored to your workflow needs. Auto New Tab is built to be lightweight and respects your privacy by refraining from collecting browsing history, analytics, or any personal data.

Whether you are researching multiple sources, managing numerous accounts, or simply prefer not to have tabs unexpectedly replaced or lost, Auto New Tab keeps your browsing organized and predictable. It is especially useful for users who work with complex, multi-link sites and want enhanced control over how links open.

Key Features:
- Per-site customization: Create individual “cards” for websites, each with unique link rules and default link-opening behavior.
- Wildcard-based rules: Match URLs precisely using wildcard patterns.
- Instant updates: Changes to settings apply immediately, with links on dynamically updated pages responding in real time.
- Popup toggle: Easily enable or disable the “open links in new tab” functionality for your current site with a quick popup switch.
- Dynamic link support: Handles links generated by JavaScript or single-page app URL changes to ensure reliable operation everywhere.
- Intuitive management: Add, edit, reorder, or remove site cards and rules with a clear and straightforward visual interface.
- Zero interference: Non-matching links remain unaffected, preserving normal tab behavior on all other links.

How It Works:
1. Install Auto New Tab from your browser’s extension store.
2. Click the extension icon to open the popup and check if it is active on the current site; toggle it on or off as required.
3. Open the “All Settings” page from the popup to configure detailed options.
4. Add a new “site card” by specifying domains or URL patterns you want to manage using wildcard expressions.
5. Within each site card, create rules for particular link types or paths, deciding if those links open in the same tab or in new tabs.
6. Organize rules by reordering them and adjust the default behavior for “Other Links” on the site; changes save automatically.
7. As you browse, the extension evaluates your rules upon each link click, opening matching links in new tabs and applying default actions otherwise.
