Summary
The default behaviour of ctrl+click, shift+click, cmd+click (on macOS) and middle-click when clicking on links is to open the link in a new tab (or new window in the case of shift).
This behaviour is sometimes broken by careless developers.
This add-on restores the default behaviour, ensuring the modifier keys always cause links to open in a new tab (or window).
User reviews
