Hi, I am on Chrome version 79.0.3945.86 (Official Build) (64-bit). I am using a Pixelbook, if this makes a difference in where you find settings.
I find it very annoying that Chrome Browser now opens every clicked link in a new tab. I now have 20 tabs just being on the internet for 10 minutes!
Is there a way to disable this feature, so the default "action" for openiing links is to open in same window?
I cannot seem to find a flag in chrome://flags --- but maybe I am missing it
Thanks! -xo
I think it's more a function of the web page containing the link. For example, if I'm on the Reddit home page and I click on a thread that interests me, it opens in the same tab, but if I click on a link off of Reddit, it opens in a new tab.
You mean like virtually all links (even within a website like reddit) opens in new tabs? That's definitely not right but I can't speak for pixelbook oddities. First thing that comes to my mind is a (physical or virtual) stuck control key (control+click opens in new tab). As the other comment pointed out some links are "designed" to open in a new tab but these are mostly external links and not that common as it's a discouraged practice.
Looking for a solution to force any links to open in the same window of the chrome browser instead of opening in a new window.
Holding Ctrl+Left click doesn't work for all kinds of links.
"Open link in the same tab, pop-up as tab" extension doesn't work on some links.
I just switched to Firefox due to all the good things I've been reading about this program, and it has been really good, but I just can't get used to how each time I open a new tab, it goes to the end of the list of tabs that I have opened from the current tab.
In Chrome, when you open a bunch of tabs from a single site/tab (A), each one gets positioned after the previous one (B,C,D), but if you click another tab (Z) and go back to (A), the next tabs you open from there will be located before B, C and D, like (E,F,G,B,C,D).
Meanwhile, in Firefox you always get B,C,D,E,F,G by default and I don't like that because in some sites, like YouTube (or any time I research something), I have a main tab from which I open a bunch of new ones, and tabs just keep opening further and further away, even if I think the new ones should have priority (should be closer to the parent tab).
I thought " browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" would help me with that but it didn't. I am currently using "Tree Style Tab" plugin to help me navigate my tabs, and it says it has the option I'm looking for, but it's not working.
So, is there a way to have that Chrome behavior when opening tabs? I'm doing things wrong?
Some websites open links in a new tab, and I find this incredibly annoying. Is there any way to force links to open in the same tab, instead of opening a new one?
There are two possible ways to achieve this:
1 - When the new tab open it will always opens in the chrome window which is last active or last minimized, means you have to open two chrome's window and always have to active the window in which you want to have your new tabs to open.
2 - You have to install different browser so that you don't have to care the active chrome's window.
That's all you can do.
I know it's been a while but opening the first window as a popup using simple HTML does it:
<a href="http://www.google.com"
target="popup"
onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com','popup','width=600,height=600'); return false;">
Link Text goes here...
