Safari 3.1 – new tab instead of new window by falko
25 03 2008With the updated Safari Browser in Version 3.1 it’s now possible to prevent links to open new browser windows. This settings is available in Firefox browser for a long time. But it’s still not easily available for Safari. Although you can explicitly open a link in a new tab, you can’t prevent opening a new window and instead send it to a tab by default.
But with a little help from the Terminal you can achieve this goal easily:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
found this a few days ago at fscklog
