I believe some used to - the context menu entry was going to be our
foreground-opening UI, but lots of people use it and expect
background-opening.

Shift-middle or shift-control click. (All browsers I've tested support
this.)

Yes, it can also close tabs. I meant to emphasis the _background_ part
of the operation.
It also opens _in_the_background_.
When it closes a tab, it closes it in the background too ;)

Except when middle-clicking on a tab means "close the tab". So it
means both open and close, depending on the context.

@krtumay:
I think you are confused now. Evan was asking about the Home button
(which optionally appears in the navigation bar, next to reload).
NTP can also be opened in the foreground as a new tab using the small
'+" icon. The '+' actually does not support middle-click, you
must use left-click.
Consistency with other tabs opening in the background is fine, but I
must agree with Evan on suggesting that the New Tab page should
clearly be an exception. Since you can always open an NTP and there
are so many ways to do it, you would never want to queue any NTPs in
the background, and the onl
I argued from the point of consistency and mentioned my personal preference
only as an afternote to point out that the consistent behavior would not be
universally despised.

This is fine except for the other 50% of users who do want the browser
to change tabs for them.
And before you reply with "there are more than 50% of users who want
new tabs queued in the background" or say that it's your preference, I
would like to see explicitly a statement from Google's testin
Given that there are a large number of ways to open the home page in a new

I don't understand; what's the alternative behavior you're proposing?
(Yes, this behavior is intentional; all the toolbar buttons handle
clicks/modifiers now, so e.g. middle-clicking the back button opens the
previous page in a new background tab. This behavior was a popular niche

Sorry, I failed to make that explicit: Open in foreground. (See
