How can I make Chrome open bookmarked pages in new tab by default?

Solution 1:

Alternatively, you could use

javascript:window.open('url')

For example,

javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')

Solution 2:

I don't really follow on the bookmark thing you're talking about, but if you're looking for the similar function of clicking the middle wheel, then Ctrl+left click on a link. This will open the link in a new tab while keeping the page you're on active.

There are many keyboard shortcuts for Chrome and it's worth taking a look at their support site under keyboard and mouse shortcuts for a full list.

Another one you might like is ctrl+shift+left click which will open the link in a new tab and jump you to it.
