>Open tabs are kinda halfway between history and bookmarks, for me.
How do you feel about the fact that the author (of the web page) gets to decide whether a link opens in a new tab?
Point is that I ignore tabs unless I'm alternating between 2 tabs or a need a placeholder for a few minutes. If arbitrary web sites could add to my the list of bookmarks kept by my browser, I'd ignore that list, too.
I do usually have control, via left click or middle click, but it is annoying when this is overridden in one direction or another, yes (and I sometimes do a dance of opening/closing/rearranging tabs to get the result I want)
