Middle clicking link in Chrome opens in same tab and new tab [SOLVED]

Q. Help! When I middle click a link in Chrome it opens in a new tab (like it should) but it ALSO opens in the same tab I’m in, which it should not 🙁 How can I fix this super annoying behavior?! –Virginia

A. Good question, here is an extension that will fix the problem:

middle button new tab
