I always just right click - new tab.

In fact, it drives me nuts when I go to a page that opens a tab by default, heh.
Same. I don't have a middle click on my laptop, so I do the right click->new tab by default.

But I want to have control over my tabs!

Wow, really? I mean, I have been right clocking and choosing the first option everytime lol.

Now, all I need is to change the habit because it's going to be hard! XD

People still use IE? In any event, that's the out of the ordinary one, since in both Firefox and Chrome (and apparently IE8 per MrPopo) it's Ctrl + Click to open a new tab and Ctrl + Shift + Click to open a new tab and go there.

IE's fine. Firefox does some stuff I don't care for (and it's all cosmetic).

Ah, that's it, mine's checked.
