Could this addon be also made to "absolutely force left click to open link in c.u.r.r.e.n.t. tab and middle click to open link in n.e.w. tab"?
Main reason is google image search results deciding otherwise: google search ->image results, full page of images -> left click opens preview half-page, and then left click on that preview image suddenly decides to open in new tab...
Similar things also happen on image links on Alibaba, Ebay,...;
'campaign.aliexpress.com' even tampers the cursor behavior over links...

Maybe some kind of "give a finger -mode" in plugin to disable absolutely everything, that alters mouse and keyboard, would be in place; and if that makes page inoperable - good, those, who bend well established internet UI standards should go out of business to clean up this world!!!
