An option to always open a new tab

[hvilminko]

When opening the Inspector panel and clicking Data Export (for example), I never want to open it on top of the existing browser tab. Yes, I can click the middle mouse button to open a new tab instead but it would be great to have an option to always open the Inspector pages in a new browser tab.

Hi @hvilminko ,

I'm thinking about adding a configuration page to allow users to update some default configuration but it is a heavy development which may comes in a while.
What I can suggest to you is a parameter in localConfiguration that you could update from chrome dev tool.
What do you think about it ?

I understand that a configuration page will require quite a bit of effort to implement. A parameter stored in LocalStorage would do the trick just fine at this point.

This feature will be delivered in 1.17.

Quick recap, to be able to configure the extension to open links in a new tab you need to :

• Open chrome dev console
• Go to "Application" tab
• Select the local storage from the extension (chrome-extension://fcmoglpkegmpmenokkgkbkjbdhdgneab ...)
• Right click and add "openLinksInNewTab" key and "true" as value
• Refresh the page

1.17 is live 🚀
