Ask HN: Would people prefer HN articles to open in a new tab? (target=“_blank”)?

I like being able to choose, so no, I wouldn't want it.

You should check if someone has made a browser extension for this, it seems simple and useful enough I wouldn't be surprised if there is one around.

For accessibility purposes we've found it's best to let the user code and not do a target.

If you're using a desktop browser, scroll wheel clicking on links will generally open them in a new tab.

Im pretty sure there is a setting to open new tabs when clicking a link in your browser.

No, I prefer to optionally do this with my command key.

Seems healthy leaving it to the user.

I like being able to chose so no.

no. there is already way how to do it.
