Link Helper in Chrome with OffiDocs

DESCRIPTION

I designed this for use on Chrome OS, but it will work just as well if you're using the browser on another platform.

When you click a link, instead of opening in the current tab, a little message box will popup allowing you to choose whether to open in a new tab or the current tab.

This is especially useful due to right clicking on the Cr-48 being a bit sketchy.

=Notes= *I would've used something more conventional than ` for the hotkey to shut off the menubox, but shift, alt, ctrl, and so forth were already being used for something else link related.

*When you enable/disable this: it won't affect tabs that were already open.

==Specific problematic sites== *Facebook has some problems with the functionality with this.

It's probably because FB itself is a mess of disheveled code.

*Google will display the menubox but then decide to follow the link anyway despite my urging it not to.

However, sometimes it will work properly.

*W3Schools likes stretching the menubox.
