LeechBlock NG (Next Generation) for Chrome is a simple productivity tool designed to block those time-wasting sites that can suck the life out of your working day. All you need to do is specify which sites to block and when to block them.
This new tab closes itself right away, but it's still problematic because the opening and closing of a new tab causes the browser to lose focus on the tab I'm on, and instead focus on the closest tab to the confirmation message.
Let's say I have 3 tabs: A, B, and C, open in my window in that order.
I'm currently focused on tab A, and I open a URL that's blocked by LeechBlock. What I want to do now is click the override button in the extension, then click the URL in the blocked tab message, and be on my way. This is the behavior I expect when "Show confirmation message when override is activated" is unchecked.
Instead, clicking the override button quickly opens and then closes a new tab D (this is the confirmation message). Since the window's tab order is then momentarily "A, B, C, D", once the confirmation message tab auto-closes, the browser focuses on tab C instead of tab A. Now I have to manually navigate back to tab A in order to continue browsing.
This is not so much an issue with the 3 tab example, but I often have upwards of 40 tabs open in any one window. With that many tabs, it's a bit annoying to find the tab I used to be on and continue browsing.
I believe this is an issue because unchecking "show confirmation message" causes the confirmation to auto-close but still appear. Instead, the desired behavior is that the confirmation message tab should not appear at all.
