Opening a Link in a New Tab

To open a hyperlink in a new tab, right click on it and select Open Link in New Tab. Alternatively, press Control (Windows or Linux OSs) or Command (Mac OS) + mouse click on a hyperlink to open it in a new tab.

If you'd like Chromium to switch to the new tab as you open the hyperlink, press Shift + Control + mouse click (Windows or Linux OSs) or Shift + Command + mouse click (Mac OS) on a hyperlink.

Also, if you'd like to load the current web page in a new tab, right-click on the tab header and select Duplicate.
