Always let "Open in new tab" work

Since it's New Year's Day, I've started looking for my best posts of 2015. To do that, I held down Control while clicking to open the list of posts in Blogger in a new tab so I could drag it onto my second monitor (yay for tearable tabs!). I noticed immediately that it did not open in a new tab.

Once I actually right-clicked the object, I saw that it was actually just a normal div, not a link, so only JavaScript was responsible for opening the page. Still, that's quite unfortunate, since it looks like it should be a link - it goes to a different page, after all. Whenever websites stop me from doing normal web things, I subconsciously feel appalled.
