Editor’s note: The following review is part of Macworld’s GemFest 2013. Every day (except Sunday) from mid-July until late September, the Macworld staff will use the Mac Gems blog to briefly cover a standout free or low-cost program. Learn more about GemFest in this Macworld podcast. You can view a list of this year’s apps, updated daily, on our handy GemFest page, and you can visit the Mac Gems homepage for past Mac Gems reviews.

A good number of websites—one is too many—use JavaScript and other code to prevent you from opening links in new tabs. ⌘-Click Avenger is a nifty Safari extension that works behind the scenes to override such code, restoring standard link behavior.

With ⌘-Click Avenger installed, whenever you Command-click a link (or right-click it and choose Open Link In New Tab), the link opens in a new tab, regardless of what the website's developers want.

⌘-Click Avenger doesn't do anything else, but if, like us, you prefer to browse using tabs, it's enough to remove a good amount of Web-browsing frustration.
