So, "Open Link in a new tab" ?

Indeed, patenting ideas is an excellent way to prevent free software from usign those ideas while proprietary software can just get the licensing costs from their profits.

I have not installed this app, but perhaps this app itself copied "concept" from the facebook messenger?
That is like saying the IPhone is a copied "concept" from other touchscreen devices.
Link Bubble behaves very similarly to Facebook Messenger in this way (the way the bubbles move, how you interact with them, close them, etc), and I can't help but think that Facebook was inspiration for the project.
This is actually a good thing because I always thought that the Chat Heads were a novel idea, though Link Bubble's implementation of the concept is rougher around the edges than Facebook (e.g. "laggier", not quite as clean in design).
OK, this is completely and absolutely inspired. Brilliant, especially the redirect handling. The design needs a bit of polish, but the core concept is just so damn good it's blatantly going to be copied.

I always used to open a link on Chrome, switch to the previous app, keep the page loading and then after a few seconds I would open Chrome and see the fully loaded page - however this is a more elegant solution than my "hack". Installed and already using it.
