Make the Most of Your Middle Mouse Button, Part 2

Yesterday, for example, you learned that clicking Middy on any open browser tab closes it immediately--even if it's a tab that's not currently visible.
If you happened to read the comments for that post, you got a sneak peek at today's tip: middle-clicking Web links. (Way to steal my thunder, LindaA! Just kidding.)
Specifically, when you middle-click a link in Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer (not sure about Opera, but I'm guessing so), that link opens immediately in a new tab.
Incidentally, you can accomplish the same thing by holding down the CTRL key and left-clicking a link. But why bother with that extra half-step when you can just as easily click Middy?
More Middy goodness coming tomorrow, so stay tuned! In the meantime, feel free to share any middle-click tips of your own in the comments area.
