Take the 2-minute tour ×  I like the way we can middle click on
a link and it will open a tab in the background (in Google).
However of course this doesn't work in all webpages (it's just a
google thing and not a browser in-built functionality)  So are
there any addons that allow us to middle click any link and open
the link in a new background tab?  share|improve this question

Open a link without loosing the current page!  The way I use it:
left click - open on the spot, middle click - open in new
background tab, right click - open in new foreground tab. middle
click on bookmarks - open in new foreground tab,  Options: -
configure Right Click and Middle Click to open links in new
Background or Foreground tab; - remove target="_blank" from
links (enabled by default). So there will be no more links that
open in a new tab when left-clicked;   share|improve this answer
