Middle mouse button click for any link. I don't remember the last time I used back. Just open and close tabs based on what I want to do. I learned this during research methods in graduate school as a way to avoid losing valuable studies while working on the various archaic databases, and it stuck. I know every graduate student at my university learned the same thing.
I also assumed most people did this.
- metadat 4y ago> Middle mouse button click for any link Yes, this is one of the best parts of having a desktop + mouse compared to a laptop + trackpad (or nub).
- lolinder 4y agoI always configure three-finger tap on the trackpad to act as the middle mouse button. I haven't tried this on a Mac, but it can be done on Windows and Linux with Gnome (and I believe KDE, too).

- asddubs 4y agothinkpads having middle mouse buttons is pretty much the one reason i won't consider other laptops like the framework or a macbook with linux
- ttctciyf 4y ago> Middle mouse button click for any link. Yes, and firefox configured to open windows, not tabs (!) Call me a luddite if you like but ctl-w and alt-tab are always to hand and better than any amount of new-fangled tabby nonsense IMNSHO... Never thought of it as relevant to security before though.
- spartanatreyu 4y agoWhy Ctrl+w and Alt+Tab instead of Ctrl+w and Ctrl+Tab? It would group your tabs together. No chance of accidentally pressing the wrong shortcut in the wrong window (even if it only happens rarely).
