New links that open a new tab.

Post by tronn206 »

Hi, not sure if this should be in here or complaints, but it might be only me.

When I click on those links that open another tab, to another site, the original tab, instead of staying just as it is, loads a spam page. Is it just me?

Yeah, that's not something we can prevent, unfortunately. That's something those sites do. You'll have to protect yourself against it by installing browser extensions, like Sexcuir suggests.

More mainstream sites (mainly eBay) do something similar sometimes. They open themselves in the original tab and the new tab. Really annoying.
