Default opening new tabs in chrome?
So I usually like to click and hold down on hyperlinks to open new tabs but this feature stopped working some time ago and I can't remember when exactly. Has this happened to anybody else?

although chrome is considered as a feature in nexus 7 i found it to be very sluggish on all updates so far, the page just lags and slows down, got very annoyed so i switched into different browsers, opera, firefox and dolphin and found out that dolphin is the best very snappy and fast, deleted chrome and disabled it.. try the same

I prefer the "stock" browser. Has to be side loaded, but it works so much better IMO.

Try boat browser. You can get it free in the play store.

+1 for Boat. You need to be rooted to side load stock browser.
