But when you click on a link in a post, get yourself into the habit of RIGHT clicking and chosing "Open link in new tab". This may seem slow and clumsy at first but pretty soon it will be a natural thing to do. The page you were reading stays right where it is and you can look at the meme and close it down.

Your browser probably has a setting to open all links in new tabs; maybe consider that. Either way, it will take a little adjusting on your part but it's worth your sanity. Soon it will become an automatic thing to do.
