Why can't I Ctrl + click on links on Moz any more?

[Alex-Harford]

I'm interested if it's just me that gets frustrated by this?

I've just Ctrl + clicked a few links to open them in separate tabs and then realised that none of them had opened. I know it's been like this for a while.

It's a usability issue as it goes against expected norms, and now I have to right-click and then click "Open in new tab" on each link, which is more time-consuming and frustrating.

More and more websites seem to be losing their Ctrl + click on links ability (JavaScript often breaks it). I don't know if there's a Mac equivalent...

Anyway, I hope that doesn't seem like I'm too angry. It just frustrates me a little and I hope it gets fixed.

Edit - I've just realised these are getting blocked by Chrome's pop-up blocker - but why? It's only an issue on a small number of websites.

I also find that very annoying.
