I feel pretty much the same way. My big issue was having things open up in new tabs - from the address bar, bookmarks, history, and from searching. And I didn't want to have to worry about ALT-ENTER...

Finally, I found ChromePlus - which has a few quirks, but works nearly perfectly - and has this capability.

I miss Firefox, but Chrome is SO much faster, and it makes a difference on this several-year-old-refurb-box that I have.

I do wish we had noscript for Chrome, though. The only close extension I found was "notscript", which was... inferior. Didn't work all the time.
