How to force Safari to open links in a new tab

Category : How to

If you are a Apple’s Safari user, you have probably noticed that every link which has target=”_BLANK” opens a new browser window. However, if you, like me, prefer to have only one Safari window containing all webpages. This tips is exactly what are you looking for.

Open a terminal and type:

$ defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Now you will just need to close and open safari again to see the difference.
If you want to rollback the changes, just type in a terminal:

$ defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
