Comment #15 on issue 4897 by rscosta: Chrome Middle-click Defeated on My.Yahoo! http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4897
Jon, I realize it can be used for special purposes, as the gaming example you mentioned. However, you can notice this is not the case here. They are just using it to prevent us from opening a simple page in a new tab. Reason? None. Why are they messing with middle click if they are using THE SAME function set for left click?? If both buttons do the same thing, their only will is to limit tabbed browsing advantages. Organizing our navigation is what tabs are made for. Tabs are for users not for page makers. They are OUR resource to open multiple pages at the same time without all those annoying windows. Can't Chrome block only this kind of abusive middle click configuration? If not, I agree it should remain allowed for it is an interesting resource for other kind of applications (eventhough we would need to cope with these abusive configurations). Anyway, why not even the "Control + Left click" is opening new tabs? Do we really need to rely only on the "right click + open in new tab"? I shall wait for that extension you mentioned.
