Simple Browser Tricks - Go back or forward in a new tab

Tabbed browsing is usefull enough on it’s own, but there are a few simple tricks that make it even more so. I find that the most useful trick for me is to open the previous page in a new tab. This is done by simply holding down the “Command” key while clicking the back button (or selecting back from the contextual menu).

This also works with the forward button. Any link you click on can be opened in a new tab by holding down command when you click the link. If you want to view an image in a new tab follow the same pattern with the “View Image” or “View Background Image” commands accessed via a right click or a “Control” click.
