Google: open results in a new tab

Makes every organic result link open in a new tab, keeping the search page in place.

Code to copy

// Force every organic result link to open in a new tab
function newTabLinks() {
  document.querySelectorAll('#search a > h3').forEach(function (h) {
    const a = h.closest('a');
    if (a && a.target !== '_blank') {
      a.target = '_blank';
      a.rel = 'noopener noreferrer';
    }
  });
}
newTabLinks();
const obs = new MutationObserver(newTabLinks);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });
