Is there any extension which enables to open Hacker News posts in a new tab? Currently whenever I click any posts here, it opens in the same tab.

Sorry if this was such a dummy question for others.<p>What I meant is the default ability to open any links of Hackers news in a new tab. For example, in WordPress, we use &#x27;new tab&#x27; option for links or plugin like this - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wordpress.org&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;open-in-new-window-plugin&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wordpress.org&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;open-in-new-window-plugin&#x2F;</a> so that all external links should open in the new tab.

In Chrome there is: &quot;Hacker News New Tab&quot; to do this

Right click. That gets you a popup menu that lets you open in a new tab or a new window (on most browsers).

Just middle mouse click, or ctr&#x2F;cmd + click.

Click with the middle button.
