I’ve just released my first Chrome extension to the Chrome Web Store, lovingly referred to as Tiny Tiny RSS Open in Background Tab.

When Google Reader first announced it was shutting down, I moved to Tiny Tiny RSS. In Tiny Tiny RSS, the standard action for opening links in a new tab also raises the tab, interrupting your consumption of the feeds.

This Chrome extension lets you configure a shortcut key to open items in a background tab. In conjunction with the googlereaderkeys plugin you can have a pretty efficient process for reading feeds.

This extension is based off of a similar one for Feedly.
