I just added a setting to disable "Open in a new tab". Disable it from the drop down menu on the right of the search input, and let me know if that works well for you now?
Hrmm, the problem is with infinite scroll. Opening in new tab is the best UX I've tested that works best. Anything suggestions with that problem if I did add that option?
No. If I click the link it’s because I’m done with the search and found my target result. If I am unsure about it, I’ll open the link in a new tab myself using middle click or long tap.
That is a good point, I'll be thinking about this problem... let me know if you have any good ideas how to improve that without hurting infinite scroll. Right now I think I need to leave it for infinite scroll right, else if you click back you would lose your place.
