    It may be nice to have a thread where we could ask about an extension, and have one reccomended. My current flight of fancy? Something, that with a key held down (say right shift, or something else configurable) would make it so that all links you scroll over are "clicked" and either opened in that window, or in alternate tabs (perhaps a different key for this feature?) great for when people insist on giving about 30 seperate links on a forum over using the tags.

    Anybody know of something?

    It might sound daft, but holding Ctrl does exactly what you want. I suppose a sticky-key type app would be slightly less effort, but... yeah. :p

    Snap Links works well too. You use the right mouse button and drag the green box which appears over however many links you want to open and it opens them in separate tabs.

    Well then, aren't you just finding the ticket. That's exactly what i wanted :eeek: . I know that holding ctrl and clicking also does it (as does clicking middle mouse on a link) but i then still have to click the damn things. Giving Snap Links a try now..... damn, works as a treat.
