Ask HN: Would people prefer HN articles to open in a new tab? (target=“_blank”)?

I like being able to choose, so no, I wouldn't want it.
You should check if someone has made a browser extension for this, it seems simple and useful enough I wouldn't be surprised if there is one around.

For accessibility purposes we've found it's best to let the user code and not do a target.

If you're using a desktop browser, scroll wheel clicking on links will generally open them in a new tab.

Im pretty sure there is a setting to open new tabs when clicking a link in your browser.
No, I prefer to optionally do this with my command key.
Seems healthy leaving it to the user.

no. there is already way how to do it.
I'd find it personally helpful since I like to collect articles I'm interested in reading as I skim the page, but if more people like clicking the article, then the back button each time, no biggie I'll survive. just curious tho cuz it'd be sick
