网站上的大多数链接都在同一个浏览器选项卡中打开。你可能不会太介意。但是，如果您尚未完成当前网页，更喜欢稍后访问链接页面，或者想要比较内容，您应该在单独的选项卡中启动它们。但是，重复使用“在新选项卡中打开链接”上下文菜单选项太慢并且很快就会变得乏味。
值得庆幸的是，您可以强制浏览器在新选项卡中打开任何链接，只使用键盘、鼠标和触控板。一些浏览器还支持自动为您执行此操作的扩展程序。
使用键盘(New Tab Using Keyboard)和Mouse/Trackpad在新选项卡中打开链接(Link)
在 PC 和Mac上，选择链接以及键盘上的一个或多个特定键会强制浏览器在新选项卡中打开链接。这适用于任何浏览器，无论是Google Chrome、Mozilla Firefox、Safari、Microsoft Edge还是Opera。或者，您可以单独使用鼠标或触控板在新的浏览器选项卡中加载链接。
Use Keyboard with Mouse/Trackpad
您可以在新的浏览器选项卡中加载任何链接，方法是在按住Control(Control )键 (Windows) 或Command键 ( Mac )的同时单击或点击它。每个选项卡都在后台加载，因此它是在您浏览网页时打开多个链接的理想方法。
或者，您可以在按住Shift + Ctrl (PC) 或Shift + Command ( Mac ) 的同时单击链接。这不仅应该在新选项卡中打开链接，而且还应该将注意力转移到它上面。
仅使用鼠标或触控板(Use Mouse or Trackpad Only)
如果您使用鼠标，只需使用鼠标中键单击链接即可立即在新的浏览器选项卡中打开它！按住Shift键同时单击中键也可以帮助您自动切换到选项卡。
Windows笔记本电脑上的触控板也可以在新选项卡中打开链接。为此，您必须通过单击或用三个手指轻敲来模拟中键单击。您可以通过转到Settings(Settings ) > Devices > Touchpad来配置鼠标中键。
MacBook触控板没有中键单击手势。但是，您可以使用MiddleClick(MiddleClick)或Middle等第三方应用程序来添加对此的支持。它们还应该与Mac 的 Magic Mouse(Mac’s Magic Mouse)一起使用。
如何使用扩展在新标签页中强制打开(New Tabs)链接(Links)
如果您不喜欢以不寻常的方式使用键盘、鼠标或触控板在新选项卡中打开链接，或者如果您身体不便(if you’re physically disadvantaged)，那么浏览器扩展程序可以提供帮助。一些浏览器还带有在新选项卡中打开链接的选项，而不是在新窗口中打开链接。
谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)
假设(Suppose)您使用 Google Chrome，前往Chrome 网上应用店，然后(Chrome Web Store)在新标签中(open links in new tabs)搜索打开的链接。您应该能够找到多个扩展，这些扩展提供了在新浏览器选项卡中强制加载链接的功能。
例如，扩展在新选项卡(Open in new tab)中打开允许您在后台轻松打开链接。将其添加到Chrome后，只需从浏览器的扩展程序(Extensions)菜单中选择扩展程序，然后打开开关即可为您正在查看的站点激活它。
另一个名为Right Click Opens Link in New Tab的扩展允许您配置鼠标右键或触控板手势以在后台或前台打开链接。
如果您想扩展首选扩展程序的支持以在 Chrome 中包含隐身窗口(Incognito windows in Chrome)，请打开“扩展程序(Extensions )”菜单并转到“管理扩展程序(Manage extensions)” > “详细信息(Details)” 。然后，打开“隐身允许(Allow in incognito)”旁边的开关。
火狐浏览器(Mozilla Firefox)
Firefox 浏览器附加组件商店(Firefox Browser Add-ons store)还包含几个可以在新选项卡中打开链接的扩展。一个例子是Open Link with New Tab。只需安装它，您遇到的每个链接都应该在新选项卡中打开。要管理扩展的工作方式，请转到附加组件和主题(Add-ons and Themes)>扩展(Extensions)。
此外，Firefox提供了一个内置选项，允许您在选项卡而不是新窗口中强制加载链接。要激活它，请在 Firefox 中打开“选项”页面，选择“(Options)常规”选项卡，然后选中“(General)在选项卡中打开链接而不是新窗口(Open links in tabs instead of new windows)”旁边的框。
苹果浏览器(Safari)
Safari没有任何扩展（在撰写本文时）可以自动在新选项卡中打开链接，因此您别无选择，只能依靠键盘和鼠标/触控板。
但是，它确实提供了对在新窗口中打开的链接的控制。转到Safari > Preferences > Tabs并将Open pages in tabs 而不是 windows(Open pages in tabs instead of windows)设置为Automatically。这应该会提示此类链接仅作为选项卡打开。
基于 Chromium 的浏览器（Edge、Opera 和 Vivaldi）(Chromium-Based Browsers (Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi))
与 Google Chrome 不同，基于 Chromium 的浏览器(Chromium-based browsers)（例如Microsoft Edge、Opera和Vivaldi ）缺少可以帮助在新选项卡中强制打开链接的专用扩展程序。但是，它们使用与Google Chrome(Google Chrome)相同的引擎。这意味着您可以安装Chrome扩展程序（例如右键单击(Right Click Opens Link)在新选项卡中打开链接）来(New Tab—to)获得类似的功能。
Microsoft Edge：进入 Microsoft Edge 的Extensions页面，打开(Extensions )Allow extensions from other stores旁边的开关。然后，访问Chrome 网上应用店(Chrome Web Store)并安装您喜欢的扩展程序。
Opera：将安装 Chrome 扩展(Install Chrome Extensions)插件添加到Opera。然后，前往Chrome 网上应用店(Chrome Web Store)安装任何Chrome扩展程序。
维瓦尔第：(Vivaldi:)你什么都不用做！只需(Just)前往Chrome 网上应用店(Chrome Web Store)并添加所需的扩展程序即可。
在新标签(New Tabs)中打开链接(Links)：选择您的方法
如您所见，您有多种方法可以在新的浏览器选项卡中打开链接。使用键盘、鼠标或触控板很容易习惯这样做。但是，如果这不是您的菜，那么您只需要一个浏览器扩展程序。对不起(Sorry)，Safari粉丝！
现在，了解如何在任何浏览器中轻松切换选项卡。
How to Force Your Browser to Open a Link in a New Tab
Mоst links on websites open in thе same browser tab. You probably don’t mind that too much. Βut if you’ve yet to finish with the current web page, prеfer gеtting to linked pages later, or want to compare stuff, уou should launch them in separate tabs. However, repeatedly υsing the “Open link in new tab” contextυal menu option is too slow and gets tedious fast.
Thankfully, you can force your browser to open any link in a new tab using nothing but your keyboard, mouse, and trackpad. Some browsers also support extensions that do that for you automatically.
Open Link in New Tab Using Keyboard and Mouse/Trackpad
On both the PC and Mac, selecting links in conjunction with a specific key or keys on your keyboard force the browser to open the link in a new tab. That works on any browser, be it Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Opera. Alternatively, you can use your mouse or trackpad alone to load links in new browser tabs.
Use Keyboard with Mouse/Trackpad
You can load any link in a new browser tab by clicking or tapping on it while holding down the Control key (Windows) or the Command key (Mac). Each tab loads in the background, so it’s an ideal method to open multiple links as you move your way through a webpage.
Alternatively, you can click a link while holding down Shift + Ctrl (PC) or Shift + Command (Mac). That should not only open the link in a new tab but also shift your focus to it.
Use Mouse or Trackpad Only
If you use a mouse, simply utilizing the middle mouse button to click on a link will immediately open it in a new browser tab! Holding down the Shift key while middle-clicking also helps you switch to the tab automatically.
Trackpads on Windows laptops can also open links in new tabs. To do that, you must emulate a middle-click by clicking or tapping with three fingers. You can configure the middle mouse click by heading over to Settings > Devices > Touchpad.
MacBook trackpads don’t have a middle-click gesture. However, you can use third-party apps such as MiddleClick or Middle to add support for that. They should also work with the Mac’s Magic Mouse.
How to Use Extensions to Force-Open Links in New Tabs
If you don’t like using the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad in unusual ways to open links in new tabs, or if you’re physically disadvantaged, then browser extensions can help. Some browsers also come with the option to open links in new tabs as opposed to new windows.
Google Chrome
Suppose you use Google Chrome, head over to the Chrome Web Store, and search for open links in new tabs. You should be able to locate multiple extensions offering the functionality to force-load links in new browser tabs.
The extension Open in new tab, for example, allows you to open links in the background easily. After adding it to Chrome, simply pick the extension from the browser’s Extensions menu and turn on the switch to activate it for the site you’re viewing.
Another extension, dubbed Right Click Opens Link in New Tab, allows you to configure the right mouse button or trackpad gesture to open links in the background or the foreground.
If you want to expand your preferred extension’s support to include Incognito windows in Chrome, open the Extensions menu and go to Manage extensions > Details. Then, turn on the switch next to Allow in incognito.
Mozilla Firefox
The Firefox Browser Add-ons store also contains several extensions that can open links in new tabs. An example is Open Link with New Tab. Just install it, and every link that you come across should open in a new tab. To manage how the extension works, head over to Add-ons and Themes > Extensions.
Additionally, Firefox provides a built-in option that allows you to force-load links in tabs instead of new windows. To activate it, open the Options page in Firefox, select the General tab, and check the box next to Open links in tabs instead of new windows.
Safari
Safari does not have any extensions (at the time of writing) that can automatically open links in new tabs, so you have no recourse but to rely on your keyboard and mouse/trackpad solely.
However, it does provide control over links that open in new windows. Go to Safari > Preferences > Tabs and set Open pages in tabs instead of windows to Automatically. That should prompt such links to open as tabs only.
Chromium-Based Browsers (Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi)
Unlike Google Chrome, Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi lack dedicated extensions that can help force-open links in new tabs. However, they use the same engine as Google Chrome does. That means you can install Chrome extensions—such as Right Click Opens Link in New Tab—to gain similar functionality.
Microsoft Edge: Go to Microsoft Edge’s Extensions page and turn on the switch next to Allow extensions from other stores. Then, visit the Chrome Web Store and install your preferred extension.
Opera: Add the Install Chrome Extensions add-on to Opera. Then, go to the Chrome Web Store to install any Chrome extension.
Vivaldi: You don’t have to do anything! Just head over to the Chrome Web Store and add the extension you want.
Open Links in New Tabs: Choose Your Method
As you just saw, you have a handful of ways to go about opening links in new browser tabs. It’s easy to get used to doing that using your keyboard, mouse, or trackpad. But if that’s not your cup of tea, a browser extension is all you need. Sorry, Safari fans!
Now with that out of the way, learn how to switch between tabs in any browser easily.
