I'd like to have a small notice in the status bar if a link wants to open a new window. (typically by Anchor tags with a target like "_new") Browsing usually with tabs in one window, new windows opening when clicking on a link are anoying. A small text in the status bar like "(new window)" would help here. I've seen this in another browser, but don't recall which (Opera? Konqueror?) (Another idea: forcing a link to be opened in the same window?) Adding an option in Preferences/Tabbed Browsing to open all new windows as new tabs, would not be usefull from my point of view, but break all the software using smaller windows, for example as a login window. Older Opera releases had this problem.

from comment #0: > (Another idea: forcing a link to be opened in the same window?) This is already implemented. See Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Scripts&Plugins and uncheck 'Open a link in new window'. It has nothing to do with JavaScript even it's location might hint otherwise.
