Each tip in itself saves time. If you take all of them into account, you can work extremely efficiently.
Go directly to review form via version
Review on separate browser tab
Multiple review forms at the same time
New browser tabs with middle mouse button (1-click)
Tab navigation with keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+TAB)
Standard method: paper list → click paper title (A) → paper details → button review → review form
Direct method: paper list → click version (B) → review form
You can save yourself the hassle of reloading the paper list and scrolling back to the last position in the list by opening the paper's review form in a new browser tab (right-click on the link → context menu → open link in new tab) and simply closing it after saving the review. That alone is not a big efficiency gain ...
... However, if you open several papers or review forms on separate tabs at the same time, you can fill out the review forms while they are loading and close all tabs at once after you have saved them. This way, you can open not only 5, but also 10, 20 or more browser tabs at the same time.
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can also click the scroll wheel as a middle button.
Use one hand to operate the mouse to fill in the evaluation criteria
Use the other hand to operate the keyboard to switch to the next tab or paper
