"Forces Chrome to open links in the same tab by default instead of new or background tab, and pop-up windows as new tabs.
If you hate when you click the link and Chrome opens it in a new or a new background tab, or even in a new window, then this extension is for you. It forces Chrome to open links in the same tab by default instead of new or background tab, and new tabs instead of pop-up windows.

Now you have only One Chrome window, and you can browse different sites in One tab. You don't have to jump across tabs and windows any more!"

I found another solution. I found and installed this Chrome extension and it works 100% on every page I had problems with (facebook, xda, and some others). Now it finally works just like the old good Opera

Now I've tried to install both, v22 and v12 too. If I open this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=4.4.4 gapps and click on the second search result named "xda-developers - Threads Tagged with gapps", all three Opera browsers open a new tab. If I set the Ignore target in v12 On, the link opens in the same tab. Or another example, if I log into facebook and click on a post with an article from another site, it opens a new tab. But if I set Ignore target in v12, the same article opens in the same tab and I can simply press the backward button on my mouse after I finish reading to go back to facebook.

Yeah, but this setting in the old Opera 12 worked without problems (as I remember) - opera:config > User Prefs > Ignore Target.

So the extension doesn't work on all sites. I've tested it and it works on some new-tab-sites, but there are few sites it doesn't work on. For example forum.xda-developers.com. If I use "search all forums" and click on a result, it always opens a new tab. It is fckng ANNOYING...

lem729: No, it's usual behaviour on some sites (not all).

Ok, I solved it. I installed Opera extension named "Download Chrome Extension" and then installed Chrome extension named "TheOne - open link in same tab, pop-up as tab". It's not a good solution, but at least it works. I wonder why modern browsers can't do such simple things itself...

Hello, is there a way to force Opera v23 to open all links in the same tab like it was possible in earlier versions? I remember there was an option in advanced settings, something like "opera:config > User Prefs > Ignore Target".

After 12 years of using Opera I was forced to migrate to another software. What a shame. RSS, mail client and bookmarks were the main features I loved Opera for. Now I am being forced to use Chrome and Win Live Mail... I hate your decision.
