I'm using Safari as my browser. When I search for something, I get Google response links. When I click on one of the links, I want it to open in a new tab so I can quickly go back to the Google response tab for other links. How do I make Google open in new tabs? I think this is a Safari settings issue.

Good point, Barney.
I checked and this is true of google as well. In my case, it is set to open in what it terms "new window" (which is meant really as "in a separate page", which can be in another window or tab, depending on browser settings).
I always had it this way, and I believe it is the default.
For the benefit of the OP:
open google.com
click on Settings
choose Search Settings, and then Other Settings

Hold down the Command key and click on a link, and it will not only open in a new tab, it will open it behind the current tab, so you can immediately click on another one, and so on.
Also: in case Command-click is not working, go to Safari->Settings->Tabs and make sure that these two boxes are as shown below:

Barney and Luis, I've done all you've suggested with no change. When on a google results page, if I click on one of the links, it opens on the same tab, over the google results. This just started with my upgrade to Sonora. I don't know if this is a google issue or Sornora issue. If I click on a link on a website, like Barney's link to Startpage, it opens in a new tab leaving this page as-is. I'll research more in google and post any findings/solutions here. Thanks for your help.
Google result links do not open in a new tab
