Comment #4 on issue 20485 by gunnar.ritter: Middle mouse click on URL should optionally open a new window instead of a new tab http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20485
Thanks, but I really neither want to hit "shift" for this nor to right-click etc. I'd just like the browser to behave in the way I prefer. If that's not done for policy reasons then I'm unlikely to become a user of Chrome. (I'm avoiding Apple products for similar reasons, fwiw.) The extension approach sounds interesting though. Unfortunately http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/getstarted.html tells me that extensions aren't yet supported on Linux though. Could you perhaps keep this bug open and just create such an extension once the mechanism works on Linux? I suppose it's really ten lines of code written in five minutes if you know the respective internals.
