About Auto New Tab & Form Rescue
Auto New Tab & Form Rescue gives you ultimate control over your browsing experience by forcing links, searches, and address bar inputs to open in new background tabs, while actively protecting your typed data!
Tired of links opening in the current tab and interrupting your reading? Frustrated when you lose a long, unsaved comment because you accidentally navigated away? This extension solves both problems elegantly.
🌟 KEY FEATURES:
1. Ultimate Tab Control
• Address Bar Interception: Type a URL or search query in the address bar, hit Enter, and it opens in a new tab without losing your current page.
• Link Forcing: Force standard page links (left-clicks) to open in a new tab, bypassing annoying website restrictions that break standard Ctrl+Click behavior.
• Aggressive Mode: Intercept almost any form of navigation, including JavaScript redirects and button clicks.
2. Smart Form Recovery (Data Protection) Never lose typed text again! When you type into inputs, textareas, or select dropdowns, the extension quietly backs up your data locally in the tab's temporary memory (sessionStorage).
• If you accidentally refresh, go back in history, or the extension forces a background navigation, your typed text is instantly and seamlessly restored!
• Fully compatible with modern dynamic websites built on React, Vue, and Angular.
• Automatically clears local backups as soon as you successfully submit a form.
3. Context Menu Controls Need to quickly wipe your typed data or clear a huge form? Just right-click!
• "Clear saved data for this field": Instantly erases the text and backup for a specific input field.
• "Clear all saved forms on this page": Resets all form fields on the current page to their default state in a single click.
• "Open link in new tab (Force)": A guaranteed way to open any link in a new tab directly from the context menu.
Privacy & Security First: This extension operates entirely locally on your machine. It does not track you, does not use analytics, and no data ever leaves your browser. Sensitive fields like passwords (type="password") and file inputs are strictly ignored by the recovery system for your maximum safety.
Take back control of your tabs and protect your data with Auto New Tab & Form Rescue!
