Subject covered in title. Is there way to set this up as a preference?

        1. PR adding this feature has already been merged.
        2. Why the hell would you be against the option to open links in a new tab? You can decide how you want links to open, it’s not like the ability to open links in the same tab will disappear.

          Because I am an idiot who clearly misunderstood that this would add an option allowing individual users to change the setting, rather than being a global change for all such links, or a setting that only instance admins had control over.

    I cannot disagree with this more. Most every web browser gives an option to easily open in a new tab/window links that are authored to open in the same, but few, I’m unaware of any without an extension/add-on, give a user an option to easily open such in the same tab/window. So if we want more options for users, as most Free Software programs do, I would highly recommend we keep same.

      I am not sure where the ‘option’ (ie ‘optional’) part got lost in the logic here.

      Please note, if you are aware of any browsers, particularly for Android/Linux and Windows please let me know.

          Are you sure you understand my question? On my work PC IT has installed Chrome for Windows Version 116.0.5845.188 (Official Build) (64-bit). When I right click a link I see option sfor OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB, OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW & OPEN LINK IN INCOGNITO WINDOW. I don’t see an option to OPEN LINK IN SAME TAB. Is this something that is included in a newer build?
