How can I open a link I left click on in a new window automatically instead of changing the current window to that link location? I know that I can right click on the link and choose the option "Open Link in New Window" but I want it to open in a new window all the time as the default automatically.

You can use a Shift + left-click to open a link in a new window.

Thank you cor-el.

Shift + left click is much easier than having to do the 2-part operation of right clicking and then left clicking on "Open Link in New Window."
