What's wrong with double click?

On a link? Everything.

I still don't understand. IIRC, it's click once to select, click twice to open. Why should hyperlinks be different?

Or maybe you mean machine gun clicking until the page loads, that's, eh, wrong, yes.

Links only need single clicks. Always have.

Icons on the desktop, or files in a listview need a double click to open, because single clicking just selects them.

Unless you are using something with modern UI, in that case even folders are single click to open.

I think it is the idea of clicking some random link on the internet and not the act of double clicking itself. It caught me for a second too.
