If you find a SETTING, let me know

A few days ago, chrome stopped opening links in a new tab for me.

I tried to find and set the setting (AGAIN) and now I can't find it.

Has this setting been removed, or am I just blind?

The usual control + click?

"The standard behaviour of Chrome is to only open tabs to the front when pressing the Ctrl key - which is not an option for touch displays or people with physical disabilities. The Chrome devs have stated several times that they do not intend to change this."
