Why do my links open a new window?

Remove plugins as well as extensions

Plugins and extensions cause Chrome to open links in new tabs. To eliminate this problem, all you need to do is disable them.

Is it better to open in new tab or new window?

When a new window opens, it covers the user's earlier window. The user is left confused and wondering how to get back. But when a new tab opens, the user can still see their earlier tab at the top. Switching from tab to tab is easy for users to understand.

How do you indicate a link opens in a new window?

Links that open new windows or tabs include target="_blank" in the <a> tag, which is what tells the browser to open the new window or tab rather than following the link in the current tab.

How do you tell if a link will open in new tab?
