Extension Usage Instructions

                        A lightweight extension that puts you in control of how links open.

The extension lets you:

- Always open links in the same tab
- Always open links in a new tab
- Choose the behaviour for specific websites

Useful for stopping the behaviour of sites such as eBay, Etsy, Temu and others that open a new tab every time you click on a link, or it can be used to add that behaviour for other sites.
