> Why should opening regular links be Javascript functions?

This is annoying me in the youtube redesign as well. When you visit a channel you can't open the "videos" tab in a new tab because it's implemented as a javascript thing instead of a proper link.

Yeah, this trend is pretty lame. For me, now it's often hard to just cut/paste a string to enter a search different tab.

A link can be both a suitable-for-tab link and a JavaScript thing. They simply didn't bother.
