Some Webpages have a lot of links in their webside who wants to open in a new window. If youre using tabbed browsing, it is annoying if you have a lot of open windows - so sometimes I close this new window and open it again in a tab. Open every link in a tab is also annoying, because if you do not need the "old" browser window anymore you open a the new one and close the old one. So my suggestion: It would be nice to see if the link wants to open a new window by hover over the link. Maybe you can add a kind of toolbar that appears if you hover over a link (like the toolbar in IE by hovering over images) where you can select: "Open Link in new Tab" "Force Link to open in this Window" "Open Link in new Window" and where you can see a small icon, which repesentates the normal behavior for this link. If you click on the link itself, it would use the normal behavior of the link. Regards, Sascha Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Feature Request
