Method 1: Scroll Wheel/Middle Mouse Button

If you do not like the idea of having a Chrome extension, you can trust the mouse to handle this job for you. Just press theScroll wheelorMiddle mousebutton to open links in separate tabs in a jiffy.

It takes a while to get used to but doesn’t need any additional configuration. It works not just with Chrome but also on other browsers. On the other hand, if you use a touchpad, consider performing an action that simulates a middle mouse click—usually, it’s a three-finger click or tap.

Method 2: Change Chrome’s Settings

Now, this method is limited to the Google Search page. So, if you are mainly concerned with links on the Google Search page, a simple tweak on the Customization page will do the trick.

Open Google on Chrome and navigate toSettings>Other Settings. Now, toggle the switch forOpen results in New Window.

This will open the results from Google Search on new tabs. Again, this method is useful only if you use Google Search as your default search engine.

Open Links in New Tabdoes what it says — opens a link in a new tab. Unlike the method mentioned above, it works across all domains. There’s a slight catch, though. You may be required to enable this extension for every new domain you visit. But if you have enabled it for a particular domain, say Google, it stays on. Plus, the good thing is that the icon showsOnwhen active.

Once you’ve installed the extension, ensure that you have pinned it to your browser. When you are in search mode, click on theIconand toggle the switch as shown below. Once you do, all your links will open in new tabs.

Other than the above, it has a couple of other options, such asAuto Reload on Disable,Update All Tabs on Change, etc.

Method 4: LinkClump Pro

LinkClump Prois an insanely useful Chrome extension that doesn’t open links directly in new tabs, but rather requires you to actively select multiple links, which it then loads all at once in new tabs.

After installing, hold theZkey, and then click and drag across an area of a webpage containing links — such as the results page on Google Search.

Once you release the mouse button, expect all selected links to open immediately in new tabs. Consider using the extension alongside the built-in tool and the extension we discussed earlier for a better experience.

LinkClump also lets you customize and bind new actions to other mouse buttons. To do so, go to the LinkClump Options screen (click theExtensionicon next to theURL barand then clickOptions), and then click eitherEditto modify the current action orAdd Actionto create new ones from scratch.

TheAdvanced Optionssection also lets you determine how the extension should function, such as filtering links using set criteria, stopping duplicates from loading, etc.
