Awesome Web Browser shortcut! [Tiny Tip]

All web browsers have tabs now and they are great aren't they! Opening a link in a new tab saves a lot of time if you want to go back to the page you were on. It can act as a "checkpoint" so to speak. Now to open a link in a new tab you need to right click and select "open link in new tab" or something similar. This is fast but could be faster.

I did know about this shortcut for quite some time yet I have no clue why I didn't use it. After making myself use it though, I have never gone back. The shortcut I am talking about is the middle mouse button. When you click a link using the middle mouse button it opens up in a new tab! this is wonderful and saves a lot of time in the long run.

While using it at first it may feel a little awkward, like it did for me but after a while you get used to it and its a brease. Never going to right click for that option again!

This is the first post of a series I will be continuing called Tiny Tips. In the tiny tips posts I will just have one small tip that can make your life a little bit easier. Subscribe for future tips and tutorials and also comment below if you have a tip that you think I should mention.

Thanks for the tiny tip! A whole series sounds like a good idea.

Ctrl + Right Click opens a link in a new tab as well :]
