I have an explanation as well: Big parts of my work consists of exploratory "research" (what is written, what is available?)
Reading up on one alternative often leads to multiple links which I can either read one an one, return from, figure out what is the next link, follow that, maybe recurse another level then step back etc. To me this is cumbersome.
Instead of keeping this tree in my head I can just ctrl-click any interesting link, ctrl-tab to the next tab when I'm finished with the current one and continue ctrl-clicking.
Finishing up I can even use the save tab set feature of pinboard to stash it all away under a nice label.
