Comment on Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new window?

  What browser preference is this, exactly? I’m not aware of any browser having a setting to open every single link in a new tab.

    I found a bunch in Firefox config settings. One was so extreme that on Kbin, refreshing the feed would open a new tab. In Lemmy, nope, didn’t work.

      Calling BS on that. There is nothing in lemmy’s link that would force opening in the same tab. Proof:

      • there is nothing preventing middle-click/shift-click/context menu from actually working as intended
      • there is nothing on the a elements related to that, anyone can see it on every page
