Unlike IE and Firefox which have options that can be set to open pop-ups and links in new tab in current window, Chrome web browser does not have such convenient control option.Īs a result, Chrome will obey HTML code of target=”_new” blindly to open links or pop-ups in new window when most modern browsers flexibly adjust default behavior based on user preferences. Occasionally Google Chrome web browser will open links and pop-ups in a new window instead of new tab within the same window with tab containing originating web page.
