Safari - Open windows in Tabs instead

October 13th, 2008 | Category: Apple / Mac

Some sites have popup’s that open a new browser window when browsing their site. Annoying, and you can block it. But what about web apps or sites that have legit pop up windows? You can open these windows in tabs instead!

To set that up, open Terminal and type in the

following:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Hit enter and quit Safari. When restarting Safari, your windows will open in tabs instead!

To revert back, in Termina, type:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false

Quit Safari and restart…
