It would be nice if you would permit users to be able to open a link by
clicking the middle/wheel mouse button. This works extremely well with tabs
and is especially useful when there are a lot of links on a page.

THIS FEATURE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM NEXT TO HAVING TABS.
MANY OF YOU COMPETITORS ALREADY HAVE THIS FEATURE. IT IS INDISPENSIBLE. THE
ABSENCE OF THIS FEATURE DOES NOT ALLOW EFFECTIVE USE OF YOUR TAB INTERFACE
AND WOULD DRIVE USERS TO OTHER BROWSERS.

You can open links in tabs by clicking the middle mouse button.
At least I can anyway.

Go into mouse properties - Buttons - Set your wheel to "middle click".
