About Tabs to Front v2

New tabs open immediately instead of in the background. Update of original "Tabs to the Front!" by Abarth (2010). Chrome opens new tabs in the background and provides no option to switch to them immediately. This extension forces new tabs to open immediately. Basic, no frills, no extra features.
