I found this neat trick in Chrome the other week that people may or may not know. If you click on a link in a webpage with the mouse-wheel button, it automatically opens the link up in a new tab. After a bit of testing, it turns out that this feature works in all the tabbed browsers I've tested it with (IE8, Firefox & Safari).

No more right-click / 'Open link in new tab' required. :D

Holding the Control key down while clicking on a link, menu item or toolbar button in Firefox does the same thing.

didn't know about the mouse wheel, that is neat.

Shift-click opens link in a whole new window.
