Substance 3D Assets site: recent changes in usability/navigation of individual assets

Until recently —last month—, you could right-click and open any individual asset in any given listing in the Substance 3D Assets website (search results, collections, filtered listings etc.) in a new tab on your browser. Now you are required to navigate to the asset's page on the same tab as the search results (Ctrl + click won't open the link on a new tab either, and the right-click menu only picks up the image and not the link), which makes browsing long search results VERY inconvenient. You can always go back using the controls in the browser, but all the way down very long listings it takes a while for browsers such as Chrome to actually "remember" and go back to the point of the dynamic search results you were in before accessing the individual asset page, and sometimes it will fail to do so completely!

 

I'm not sure if this is a current glitch of a conscious design/code change, but, as I've noted above, it makes for a very inconvenient browsing experience.
