How To: Force Safari to open links in new tab

by Kevin Donahue on January 4, 2010



Are you annoyed when a webpage forces Safari to open links in a new window (ie target="new")? Fear not, because there's a simple fix!

To force Safari to open new web page links in a new tab rather than a new window, cut & paste the following into Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Restart Safari and you're set!
