<![CDATA[Opening new link into a new tab]]>Hello All,
Is it possible to open links automatically in a new tab ?
I looked everywhere, but did'nt find any answer. When I open a new link it is open in teh current tab, unless I opened a new empty tab. This is really annoying and I loose a lot of tabs that I wanted to keep opened.
Thanks you very much for help.

I have to think to open a new tab before launching a new search. Unfortunately, I almost forget 9 times on 10.

Extensions don't have access to change those. But, for bookmarks at least, if you click on them via the sidebar, they open in a new tab. Selecting text on a page and choosing to search for it opens it in a new tab also. To search via the address field though, you'll want to open a new tab first. Or, you can hold down alt when you press enter.

This one seems to work great. It even has a button in the address bar to toggle it on and off.

The problem is that they changed too many things and a lot of extensions no longer work since release 57 and a lot of developers went away. I tried the WaterFox 56 but performances are too poor. Unfortunately the choice becomes difficult. I have another problem with Opera because the pictures are sometime displayed, sometime replaced with an icon and sometime nothing is displayed. All work perfectly with WaterFox or MS Edge. I don't find where is the trouble.

I know what you show me, but I think to have tried every of these extensions. Unfortunately, sometime it works and sometime it doesn't, it means it is not reiable so not really usable.
I come from FireFox where all was possible and I am vey surprised that Opera doesn't permit that.
For me it is really annoying, and if I don't find any solution, I believe I'll try another web explorer. It's a pity as Opera seems a good explorer, but this is really a problem for me.

There's also middle-click, ctrl + click and right-click and hold on the link and drag down and then up (aka gesture down up). You can also drag the link to the tab bar. You can shift + click to open it in a new window.

To do it automatically, you could try some Chrome extensions. Install this extension and then try some of these.

You might find some at https://addons.opera.com/en/ too. I see this one, but it forces them to load in the background instead of the foreground.
