Why didn’t you though?
When I wrote Hacker News, I deliberately didn't make links open in new tabs. That seemed overreaching. But now so many sites do it that I'm often faked out when HN doesn't.

It seemed like something sites did to maximize their own traffic. Instead of sending you away, they'd keep themselves in the old tab, and just give you the link in the new one.

I usually right click on any link to make it open in a new tab just to be sure

Try ctrl/command clicking on links, or clicking with the scroll wheel if you're on Windows or Linux.

Messing with my left clicks is less offensive than messing with my right clicks, but it still feels a little disrespectful to me.

Back in those days... 2007? Tabs weren't always tabs. Lots of browsers would open "_blank" links in new windows.
