Does not work on https://academy.infigo.net/academy/c/70/megaedit. Try to control-click a "Launch" button to open the page in a new tab and it doesn't work. I also listed the host "academy.infigo.net" in this extension. I have disabled any ad blockers for that domain. The Launch button is actually an HTML <button> element.

it doesn't work for google.com, the only site I was interested in. Really disappointing.

Doesn't work for URL changes in JavaScript - presumably those using the History API instead of window.location. Most modern websites nowadays are single page applications (SPAs). This means most links that one might wish to auto-open in a new tab change the URL using the History API, which avoids a full-page reload in the browser. This extension should handle those too, otherwise it's not very useful. You can read about how to do that here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54209263/613540 It would also be nice if the "Update anchor links" functionality was extended to let us choose whether query string changes (?hello=world) count as URL changes or not. For my existing use-case (where I want to protect a tab that shows me my Kanban board from moving away from that), I'd like it to only catch base path changes (e.g. /dashboard -> /dashboard/issues), and not query string or anchor changes.
