Details
iCab has a really nice feature that helps to deal with popup windows: when the
mouse pointer is hovering over a link that is set up to spawn a new popup
window, the pointer changes to warn what will happen if clicked. (The pointer
arrow itself remains in the pointer, but a couple of little rectangles are
overlaid in the bottom right, much like the Finder adds a plus symbol to the
pointer in a drag-copy situation.)
This would be really nice in Chimera, because in situations like that you could
force the popup to open in the same window at least by command clicking or
choosing "Open in new tab" from the link contextual menu.
Confirming as an RFE. The special cursor could be displayed when the link has
target="_blank".
This should be done, if at all, first on Mozilla and for all platforms.
