Tons of tech buzzwords, yet the blog intercepts middle-clicks. I want to open your links in a new tab so I can read them when I'm done with your blog!

- mattbessey 12y agoIts not intercepting Cmnd+Click (mac)
- thejosh 12y agoLinux / Chrome middle clicking doesn't work. How can they break something so basic?
- shrikant 12y agoAlso not working on Windows 7 / Chrome.
- 9point6 12y agoThough working fine on Windows 8.1 / Chrome Edit: Actually, only working fine on the first link. All subsequent links get captured
- pja 12y agoThat's weird - middle click still works fine on Firefox/Linux, but doesn't work on Chrome/Linux. Hard to believe this was intentional.
- clarkdave 12y agoIt's not just the blog - news.bbc.co.uk also intercepts middle clicks to external sites. Middle clicks on links to other bbc.co.uk pages work fine though. Is it an accident or intentional? Anyone know?
- CatsoCatsoCatso 12y agoI've noted this to them in their feedback forms before. It's been like that for over a few months. If I recall correctly when the Guardian (uk) was developing their current version under Beta the same problem came about for a short while.
- simons 12y agoI believe it's unintentional - I expect it stems from JavaScript event tracking (e.preventDefault(); logEvent(e); window.location=e.target.href; Or something to that effect).
