Just press middle mouse button on the link?

That doesn't work for mobile users.

i.e. majority of the userbase.

Btw I am using this userscript so it's not a problem that affects me personally. However I believe the default Lemmy experience should be as user friendly as possible.

Might be because this got merged, but I didn’t look very hard https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3318

No, that's the backend part of the same pr. We still need this setting in ui to actually use this feature.

No? Not unless you're using some browser extension or userscript.
