There are a lot of people that prefer their bookmarks to ALWAYS open in a new tab without pressing ctrl (cmd) + shift + left click, me being one of them.
This is already implemented in Vivaldi, so it isn’t an issue with chromium. So nothing stopping Brave from doing this and loads of people are asking for it so why not?
In fact a solution that Brave can implement is make Brave think that control and shift or command and shift for mac are down when your cursor is above the bookmark bar, which is how Vivaldi does it.
Only thing is that this or some other thing that does the same job needs to be implemented.
@fallaciousreasoning and @Mattches. Wanted to tag in to see if this would be plausible. I know may be a bit niche and not sure how many care, but I do see occasional requests.
I know people can save bookmarks using javascript:window.open(URL); where bookmarked URL is put in the URL portion, they can use extensions like this one here (supposedly, I haven’t tested), etc.
But I guess just a question of how simplistic it would be to had a checkbox in the bookmark option that can change the behavior for that particular bookmark? Or to have a toggle in the menu.
I’m wanting to say the code for something like that should be fairly trivial, but that’s coming from someone who doesn’t know anything about code overall. Also not sure if despite how trivial it may be, if concerns on overall UX might outweigh any potential benefits.
