I changed my browser back and forth in between Safari and Firefox. Lately Firefox 1.5 has been much more often than Safari. Its new tab option: “Force links that open new windows open in: A New Tab” just wins my heart — it match exactly what I used to do. I knew that Command+click could let you open a new tab of the links. But well, less key-strokes is always better for me.

On the other hand, probably I didn’t search hard enough for the right key (I don’t bother to do key remapping yet on my iBook). Use Command + Shift + {{ or }} is simply damn painful and inconvenient. Mozilla Firefox works sweet with Alt + 1, 2, 3… for the respective tabs opened. I use Adium as the basic IM client on Mac OS X, so it has the same shortcut key for multiple chat windows. So Firefox score +1.
