Upgrade to chrome canary. It has that feature.

And what does that have to do with linking to a auto playing video? Do you automatically switch tabs after loading it and then get confused which tab has your video?

Yeah, I've been meaning to try that Chrome feature out. I'm still on FF22 at the moment.

Typically I'll middle-click links to open them in separate tabs without switching to them, then read the tabs later when I have time, sometimes even the next day. So I end up faced with a row of dozens of tabs, one of which is making unsolicited racket.


Middle-click.

A poignant reminder that sometimes effort put into learning that new language/framework/methodology should be redirect into "what really basic web-browsing techniques have I managed to miss all these years"


You can also ctrl+click if you're on a laptop, or use the "DblClicker" plugin on Firefox ;)

(also some laptop allows you to define middle click as triple finger clicking on the trackpad)
