  Some webpages block that feature

    Even the middle click?

      If it’s just a JavaScript thing, not a link, it won’t work. This is a gripe I have with the Lemmy webapp - some links in the messages UI are not real links

      They block the contextual menu > open link in new tab

        That makes sense. Thanks!

  Some pages try to re-implement links in javascript, but forget about anything other than left-click.

    I have to work in a web application written in I guess JS and it annoys me to no end that I have to duplicate a tab if I want a link to open in a new tab.
