    Because it’s an anti-feature that goes against standards and accessibility. Hold control or middle mouse click if you want the content in a new tab.

      This is why some software succeeds and others don’t. Middle mouse click or using two hands is not accessibility. Having an option to toggle this behaviour is

        Right click> select option works too. You have plenty of options that will already work for you. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t make it not accessible.

          At least it keeps me from using it on any other platform than phone. But usability shouldn’t be centre stage of a service, standards should.

            I think the standard is that you can use the tools and options available to you to open in a new tab or window. If none of those are usable for you I’d have a hard time believing you can find the option you want buried in a settings menu.

              That’s your theory - I don’t work like that when I choose from competing services. I do configure RES with no issue, and I still won’t open lemmy in a browser as it sucks compared to Reddit with RES.
