Open Rotten Tomatoes in new tab #23

Closed rakleed closed 1 year ago

rakleed commented 2 years ago

Most of the time, if I want to see the details of Rotten Tomatoes ratings and reviews, I don't want IMDb closed.

Thanks for the PR!

I don't want IMDb closed

Isn't this what right click is for?

I don't like this feature (and consider it a misfeature), but — on the other hand — it looks like IMDb does the same for external links (e.g. for Metacritic), so it would be reasonable to add it for compatibility since I'm not trying to blaze a new UX.

Would be nice to hear what others think since I disable it and therefore won't benefit from it or be annoyed by it.

On the one hand, you are right, but at the same time I need to do three clicks instead of one. And even if I use the mouse wheel, I still need to go to the open tab after that. If I click on a link with the target="_blank" attribute, then the new tab is immediately active for me.

Yes, this is also one of the reasons why I added a force open link to Rotten Tomatoes in a new tab.

Added an option for this in v5.1.0:

@chocolateboy but by default, do you still think it's better to use opening in the same tab?
