Opens Tab on javascript Link

[Leimking]

Hey.
I use your cool extension in the Vivaldi browser (chromium). With the last version it opens a new tab if its a javascript link (a href="javascript:...") instead of simply executing. If I disable "New Domain in New Tab" everything works as expected.

Please take a look if you handle this case. Thank you.

The issue of opening JavaScript links into a new tab was not fixed yet, it seems?

I modified the manifest.json file to meet Manifest V3 requirements. (Extensions developed for Manifest V2 will stop working in January 2023 and can no longer be updated either).

Here is the contents of that updated manifest file:

{
"manifest_version": 3,

"name": "New Domain in New Tab - Manifest V3",
"description": "Open links to new domains in a new tab. Configurable.",
"version": "1.0.2",
"options_page": "options.html",

"permissions":
[
"tabs",
"storage",
"contextMenus"
],

"host_permissions": [
"http:///",
"https:///"
],

"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js"
},

"icons":
{
"16": "icons/icon16.png",
"19": "icons/icon19.png",
"32": "icons/icon32.png",
"38": "icons/icon38.png",
"48": "icons/icon48.png",
"64": "icons/icon64.png",
"128": "icons/icon128.png"
},

"action": {}
}

Alas, my update of the "manifest.json" file to Manifest V3 standards is not sufficient to make the extension work under Manifest V3. The Extension manager in the browser shows multiple errors in the extension code (likely the JavaScript must be modified to meet certain Manifest V3 code requirements). Unfortunately, I do not have enough JavaScript expertise yet to fix these errors, so perhaps original extension developer @trambopoline or fork developer @bluelovers could have a look at how to get this extension to continue to work under Manifest V3.
