Tab Activate: Open New Tabs Immediately

Tab Activate is a free Chrome add-on developed by Tab Activate. It addresses the frustration of new tabs opening in the background instead of immediately switching to them. With Tab Activate, new tabs open right away, providing a seamless browsing experience.

One of the main features of Tab Activate is its ability to override Chrome's default behavior and ensure that new tabs open immediately. This is especially useful for users who prefer to have instant access to their newly opened tabs. By simply installing the add-on, users can enjoy a more efficient and streamlined browsing experience.

Tab Activate requires permissions to read and change all data on the websites you visit. These permissions are necessary to detect when the Shift key is pressed, which is the key used to open new tabs in the background. It's important to note that no website data is read or changed by Tab Activate.

The latest version of Tab Activate, version 3.2, includes code refactoring and no longer requires bookmarks permission. It also provides improved Shift key detection and error handling. Previous versions have introduced features such as support for bookmarks, new tab positioning, and the ability to override Tab Activate with the Shift key.

Overall, Tab Activate is a valuable Chrome add-on for users who want to have immediate access to their new tabs. It effectively reverses Chrome's default behavior and enhances the browsing experience without compromising user data or privacy.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
