    too bad you can't turn it off and on while keeping the extension active. you either activate it (which enables it to stay on the extension bar), or deactivate it (which gets rid of it from the extension bar). i want it to stay on the bar (active) but i can turn it on/off without the hassle of finding it again and again among other extensions when i deactivate it.

    I don't know about the other negative reviews because this definitely works for me for pop-up tabs that open when you try to click download on some sites especially now that Manifest V3 ruined some good extensions we used to have.

    LOVE this in Chrome! Unfortunately it won't work for externally clicked links (so from my mail program for example, or the feed reader) in Vivaldi 7.5. I would LOVE for this to work there as well since the Vivaldi developers are not planning on adding the option anytime soon, even though we've been asking many times.
