This is the most common problem I have. I middle-click and nothing happens (or it loads in the same page)
That being said this is partially an API issue since the website needs to guess what a "regular click" is. It would be nice if there was an "onnavigate" event which would trigger for regular clicks (or other ways to follow a link in the same page) but not for things such as "open in new tap" shortcuts.
