Subject: konqueror: Only open pages in new windows when requested by the user

Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:02:33 +0100

Package: konqueror
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6etch2
Severity: wishlist

Konqueror (and other browsers, but Konqueror is the one I use) can be 
instructed by websites to open pages in new windows (e.g. through the 
use of target="_blank" in a hyperlink). It annoys me when websites do 
this.

I would like a configuration option that instructs Konqueror to ignore 
such requests, so that pages always open in the same window, unless I 
(the user) explicitly request Konqueror to open them in a new tab or 
window.
