@wavegr I agree. It's a neat feature for us football fans, but I want to get rid of it asap as it interferes with my tab handling workflow

In the daily mail example mentioned in the OP, nothing, but usually the link opens in a new tab, and you can close the original tab, that seems to be stuck.

Just checked, and the same problem occurred with the single column option deactivated.

i have exactly the same problem that in single column view sometimes the same page keeps reloading when clicking a link.
There doesn't seem to be a pattern in if it loads the link or just reload the current page, but if it start to reload the only solution seems to be to longpress the link and open it in a new tab.
