Is there a way to open bookmarks in a new tab by default?

[archblue]

I’ve been using Slimjet for a while and really enjoy its features. However, I’m wondering if there’s a way to set bookmarks to open in a new tab by default. Currently, when I click on a bookmark, it opens in the same tab, and I have to manually right-click and select "Open in new tab" (or hold down the Ctrl key while clicking) each time.

If anyone knows of a setting, extension, or workaround to achieve this, I’d greatly appreciate your help! Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Unfortunately there is no setting that leads to a one click opening of a bookmark in a new tab in the foreground.

Here are a few things that can be done

results in the bookmark opening as a new tab in the background:
• Right Click the bookmark and select Open in new tab
• Ctrl + left click the bookmark
• Middle Click the bookmark

Holding down Alt key and then doing any of the above will result in opening the bookmark in a new tab in the foreground as the active tab.

However, for my ergonomic setup I'm not comfortable fumbling for the Alt key to get a bookmark opened in the foreground as the active tab. When I am already actively surfing and want to use a bookmark in new tab opened to the foreground I open a tab and then left click the bookmark which opens it in that new tab I just opened.

To facilitate this I have every possible non-bookmark tab in settings opening by default to "New Tab" as that is typically the fastest possible start-to-finish opening for any tab. Doing this the plus side for me is that the "New Tab" page has the grid of Tab Page links which I frequently make use of instead of the traditional bookmarks.

And when I say "New Tab" I'm specifically talking about this page, chrome://newtab/

Hello everybody:

First of all, I never though about this problem because I have my system configured to open links in new tab when I click on them thim my middle mouse button.

As I told you, with my system I haven't got this problem.

Usually when you push CRTL when clicking on the link it opens in a new background tab, so you can test it.

I am using a 5 buttons TRUST mouse and I configured lateral buttons to open links in new tabs, using this code:

And you can see the image of my mouse here:

And you gonna use always the option::. RIGHT CLICK, OPEN IN NEW TAB, )

I should have mentioned in my previous answer. The middle click mouse wheel is, yes, a single click solution. And sometimes it even worked for me before I gave up on it. But for the life of me I cannot consistently click the wheel without moving the wheel causing that action to occur as well. Which turns it into a pandora's box of what will happen this time? So in my mind I associate the middle click with multiple actions that I have to take afterward in order to fix whatever chaos occurred due to the wheel turning as I clicked it.

So in my mind I dismiss that choice to such a degree that I don't think of it as a single action. However, anyone with the ability to repeatedly and successfully click the mouse wheel will find it a useful thing in regard to this topic.
