This used to be default in previous Chrome versions, along with opening in a new tab by Middle Clicking on a link but they seem to have deleted this highly useful feature now. The only way to get this back is to use extensions, therefore, increasing the memory usage of Chrome - ridiculous! Thanks for creating this so I can be more productive!
I've used it for years on Firefox, and the same add-on also works a treat here in Chrome :-) This is essential to me, as I used to have an old Logitech mouse that would bind the middle button to 'back' command, but the more recent mice do have that binding.
I love it. If you use Babylon Dictionary with middle click, you should install it !
Simple and practical, increase efficiency, increase the operating speed is absolutely excellent work!
Exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for this!
Works just fine. Really love this feature because I do not have a good mouse :) * Win7, Comodo Dragon (Version 26.2.2.0)
Works fine on Win7 + Ubuntu 12.10
