There's a quick way to force a link to open in a new tab window in most browsers.

Actually, there are two.

Perhaps you've found a site with a page full of links.  Rather than clicking each link and then having to go back to the main page, these tips will force any link click to open in a new tab window.  It's easy to return to the main tab window and delete the newly opened tab if needed.


Here are two ways to force a link to open in a new tab window:

1.  Hover over a link, and right-mouse click.  Select "Open link in new window".
