On Lemmy.world when i click a link and then hit the back button, the entire page refreshes. That’s sucky. Is there a setting in web browsers that can either make a page not refresh, or make that site always open links in a new tab?
Rule 5. Locking.
make that site always open links in a new tab
Middle-click or Ctrl-click, or an extension for your browser.
Always open in new tab is a browser setting, but on most OSes you can also middle click your mouse button or ctrl + click and it should open it as a new tab regardless of settings.
I’m on mobile. I don’t see an option like that in any of the browsers i use. What’s the name of that setting?
On mobile, just long press > open link in new tab
What browser(s) are you using?
Here it is for Firefox (the best mobile browser):

If you’re on iOS, all your browser are basically just Safari skins unfortunately. Edit: Actually, it looks like Safari has that setting too https://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/02/22/safari-open-links-new-tabs/
Thanks but that’s for desktop, I’m on mobile
