I'm the opposite. I actually wrote a small browser extension to make HN links open in a new tab because it annoys me so much.
I can't disagree with what others have said about making it user-choice though. Maybe some kind of toggle switch that lets users set the behavior one way or the other would work?
- entropie 4y agoYou that you can open in new tabs with ctrl+click? Just to be sure.
- erellsworth 4y agoYes, I'm aware. I'd rather not have to remember to do it every time though. Just personal preference.
- prometheus76 4y agoIn chrome-based browsers, you can also middle-click (mouse wheel click) a link to open it as a new tab.
- mkl 4y agoThat predates Chrome by many years, in Firefox if not Opera, Konqueror, etc.
