What problem does MyHeritage Open Shared Matches in New Tab solve?
When you click a name in a MyHeritage shared matches list, MyHeritage navigates away from the match you were viewing, and you lose your place in the shared matches list. MyHeritage Open Shared Matches in New Tab opens that match (and any tree linked from a shared match) in its own tab so you can keep working through the list without losing context.
How does MyHeritage Open Shared Matches in New Tab work?
On any MyHeritage shared matches list, clicking a shared match’s name opens that match in a new tab instead of replacing the current page. The same applies to the tree thumbnail tooltip: clicking it opens that match’s family tree in a new tab. Both left-click and middle-click are supported, so you can quickly fan out across several matches without ever leaving the list you started on.
