How does that break usability? Reddit does it. Also HN is an aggregator, so it makes sense to keep it open in a tab and open the links in new tabs.

- rmccue 15y agoIt's actually a preference on reddit, and one that (IIRC) is off by default. In terms of breaking usability, people expect links to open in the current window/tab. Having them open a new window/tab is disorientating at best.
- mweibel 15y agoBecause others do it doesn't mean that everyone should do it. If you want to open it in a new window or a new tab, just click with the correct key on your keyboard pressed. That's what people expect and that's the correct way to do it.
