I had the same problem. Looked like Konrad's solution would worked, but it opened multiple tabs at once. This happened only after first extension install. So I changed it to

if (e.target.classList.contains("a-link")) {
    chrome.tabs.create({url: $(e.target).attr('href')});
    return false;
}

and all is working as expected.
