One thing that I am annoyed is the way "middle-click" works for bookmarks and navigation buttons. When I middle click something, I, as a user wants to visit that link. If I have 6 tabs open, that tab will open way at the end of the tabstrip, making it really annoying for me to move my mouse 20 cm in the screen. Imagine if I have 10 tabs open and with my 24 inch widescreen, I have to move my mouse a long way just to check for that tab. If that tab was close to the tab I have currently opened, it would be a better experience for me. I agree that CTRL+T should open it at the end, because it is a new tab. But I also agree it is annoying to navigate to it with a mouse. Takes more time.
