Hi @dvandervlag

To auto-load your content script on every tab on install without refreshing the tab check this issue #7

This boilerplate is injecting script into the host page to function and content scripts must specify match patterns. Check manifest.json file.

{
 "name": "My extension",
 ...
 "content_scripts": [
   {
     "matches": [ "<all_urls>" ],
     ...
   }
 ],
 ...
}

But on opening a new tab using (CTRL + T), it does'nt contain any URL so the extension will not open on that tab. You can use the extension as a popup if you wish to open it on a tab with no URL.

Hope this helps!
