That's actually the main problem I am facing as an user with the new MM website... I can't open links in new windows (my main "multitasking browsing" trick), I can't scroll using the mouse's wheel, I can't copy shortcuts to links and I am missing the link's info in my status bar too. Now, there are cases where loosing all those familiar features may be worth but, for most of the website, the trade-off doesn't look as a good deal.
