View submission: Reddit starts tracking our clicks

Back when they announced it they said they will not track right click > open in new tab. If you feel you need one, that's your work-around.

That's only because there's no way for them to tap into that event. They can know you right-clicked on a link but there's no way for them to see what you picked in the browser menu without having an extension. It's not an act of altruism on their part.
