How To Open All New Windows As New Tabs, By-Passing The _blank Attribute
One quirk that I discovered in Safari was that new links (the links that are assigned a target=”_blank” attribute) are always opened in a new Safari window, even though you may have set the option to open all links in a new tab in Safari’s preferences.
