Safari: Open links in a new tab by default (Mac)

Interactive YouTube game
There’s an interactive game on YouTube that utilizes the new integrated advertising feature to play a 30 level game. Test it out, see if you like it. Not the greatest experience because it’s on YouTube but it’s still pretty unique… The game starts below, with level one.
