Designed specifically for touch-screen tablets and laptops with trackpads (which don't have a right-click mouse button), you can now double-click on a link to open it in a new background tab.
It works similar to the "open link in new tab" option in the popup menu when you right-click on a link, but this method is faster, because right-clicking is a slow process without an external mouse.
You can configure in the settings window to:
No longer will you have to hold down the button and wait for the popup menu, or perform complex mouse gestures to accomplish this seemingly common task.
Permissions disclosure:
"Access your data for all websites" is required to listen on websites for the double-click event.
"Access browser tabs" is required to open new tabs next to the current tab
