Utviklerkommentarer

Remote Tab Opener was born from a practical need I kept encountering: controlling browser tabs from secure admin interfaces, without backend logic, without iframe hacks, and across domains.

Browser security is strict — and rightly so. But this extension uses the extension layer as a bridge, letting developers control tabs securely and simply using postMessage. It respects boundaries, enforces domain filtering, and fits cleanly into modern web architectures.

I built it to be robust, cross-browser, and dead simple to integrate. No fluff, no overengineering.

If you're a developer who loves tools that "just work" — this one’s for you.
