Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

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.
