Description-en: Chromium extension for making LWN.net slightly easier to read
When faced with an LWN article that links to another LWN article, with
perhaps a word of anchor text, it's hard to tell if the new article is worth
opening in a tab, is indeed already open in a tab, or has been previously
read.

this problem.
