Safari 4 Open Links in Tabs… Please

phillipthebear — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:24:12 +0000

Ok, so Safari 4 is great, but why does it open links in a new window ? and where is the setting to stop it ? ?

Opps there isn’t a setting, however there is Google to help ! !

Found the answer here

Although this is a Mac fix only, so windows users your on your own (but you don’t want Safari anyway your gonna stick with IE ! !)

Quit Safari

Open Terminal.app

Enter

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

and press enter

Open Safari

Notice that links that used to open in a new window will now open in a new tab

Good ole interweb ! !

How Great is Safari 4

I’ve never really got on with Safari and have mostly used Firefox

But with the release of Safari 4 I thought I’d give it another try….

And so far it is just plain old great ! !

Top sites is super

The history stuff is great

And it’s fast fast fast

Sorry Firefox I do love you but I think my heart has just been won by another ! !

My 2 year old Macbook has a crack in the case so I’ve got quite a good excuse for getting a new one….
