Make middle-click on private tab button open new homepage via private tab #169

Closed joesimmons closed 9 years ago

joesimmons commented 9 years ago

It seems like middle-clicking on the New Private Tab button has the same effect as the regular New Tab button, so I thought it would be useful for that action to do something different. It would make sense to open the most recently closed tab as a private tab, but that doesn't seem that useful.

I think it would be more useful if middle-clicking the private tab button would open a new private homepage tab. There are many times where I want to open a new private tab of my homepage, but I always have to perform at least 2 actions to get there.

Would like your thoughts, no rush.

Cheers :)

Currently middle-click on New Private Tab button is used to open new private tab right after current tab (or in child tab, if installed Tree Style Tab).

See https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/issues/117

But it does the same exact thing as the new tab button (opens most recently closed tab, not even privately).

Strange... may be caused by some another extension.

Ya, I think you're right. Whatever I've changed, middle-clicking the new tab now opens a new tab, and the private tab button opens a new private tab. I'll close this. Thanks for the replies.
