Since my Chrome browser updated itself to version 30, I've noticed that occasionally when clicking a link with the middle mouse button to open a new tab in the background, the pop-up blocker will stop it from launching. I can't remember if it's only on Engadget or if I've seen it on other sites as well. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am able to reliably replicate the issue with a link on this page: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/27/the-after-math-nokia-world-apple/
If you want to try, scroll to the bottom of the article and middle mouse click on the link in "Number of 'likes' on Nokia's first official Instagram photo: 367". All of the other links in the article work fine for me.
