Top bar opens a new window instead?
« Topic Start: April 25, 2011, 05:54:01 PM »
I was just wondering, would it be possible to make the links to bm/w.i/wiki etc open a new tab/window in the browser instead of just going straight to them?

Just an idea

I dunno if all browsers do it, but in Chrome you can just right click and choose to open them each in a New Tab/New Window. Sure, its not coded in but it gets the job done.

Indeed, a right click usually provides the option.

And if you're using a mouse, clicking the scroll wheel usually does that too.

yeah, get a real mouse and use the 3rd button. :-)

I don't do crap like that, because when I surf around, I always hate it when some website thinks it's important enough to open new windows on me. No, Sir, I am the user here and I decide when I want a new window, a new tab or neither.
