Hacker News but for Independent Blogs

Middle-click a link to open a new tab. I can't force a link to open in the same window but I can with new tabs.

Sometimes it's easier to follow a link, have a look, and then go back without jumping around tabs.

wow, always right clicked then clicked open in new tab. Middle click now saves me one click - thanks!

I always bind a side button on my gaming mice to ctrl+click so that my thumb can open links in a new tab. Slight ergonomic improvement for me.

If only mouse manufacturers would use middle click buttons that are designed for more than occasional use.
