right click on the link - open in a new tab ( new page) (not in a new window - there will be one browser window, but several pages in it


Answer from Axel[guru]
I highly recommend using opera instead of Xprover, for example.


Answer from Liliya Zarifullina[newbie]
“Open a new tab after the current one” does not mean that links will open in a new tab, it means that if a link is opened in a new tab, it will not be placed at the end of the entire list of tabs, but after the active one, that is, the one on which you click the link. And how the link should open, in a new or in the current tab - it depends on how the site creator wanted it. In order for links to open in new tabs in Google, you need to check the “Show search results in a new window” checkbox in the Search Settings (in the upper right corner). Also in Opera, you can open any link in a new window, regardless of the wishes of the site creator, by clicking on it while holding the Shift key.

I can’t say for sure, it’s always different for me, depending on the link, if it’s idiotic, it opens in one tab. And if she’s normal, then in another

One of the site visitors asked how open link in new HTML window. In this article I will answer this question.

What you will need

The visitor did not specify which editor he uses, so we will assume that it works directly in HTML. But this does not mean that you cannot follow these instructions if you use any visual editor. You'll just need to access the page layout. Most editors and blogging platforms allow you to manually edit the HTML code.

For example, if you're working in Expression Web, you can edit the page code by switching to "Code Mode" ( Code mode).

How to set links to open in a new tab or new browser window

thesitewizard.com

Change it to look like this:

thesitewizard.com

Now, when users click on this link, it will open in a new window or tab ( depending on what browser they are using and how it is configured).

Please note that if you are using a DOCTYPE with strict XHTML 1.0 or 1.1 syntax, you will not be able to use the above code and have the page validated at the same time. But I suspect that no one uses these standards. The "transitional" versions of these standards for opening in a new HTML window are fine for us, and they also support the target attribute.

If you're working in Expression Web, Dreamweaver, BlueGriffon, or KompoZer, click on the link you want to edit, go into HTML edit mode, and add the target="_blank" attribute.

This method doesn't have many advantages.

Many new webmasters think that by opening links in a new window, users are less likely to leave the site. This is fundamentally wrong. If someone clicks on a link and then wants to return to your site, they will simply click the "Back" button. Even the least technically savvy people will learn about this function immediately after getting acquainted with the Internet. Advanced users also know that you can use the “ Open link in new tab" (or " Open link in new window»).

By creating links that open in a new window, you prevent users from returning to your site. It may seem that they will easily return to the first window with your site. My experience is that this is not the case - people are confused by the back button not working. They don't even suspect that there is a new tab or a new window in front of them. When they can't quickly return to the previous page, they simply give up and move on to other resources.

Experienced users fare no better. They are very annoyed by your site’s “habit” of opening new windows without permission. That's why they experienced users- if they wanted to open a new tab, they would do it themselves, and they don’t like it at all that they do it without their consent. It's even worse if all your links open in a new window.

The site becomes vulnerable to phishing attacks

If you use the HTML open in new window button using target="_blank" , the site that the link leads to has access to the window/tab containing your page and can replace its content.

Not only will this not keep users on the site ( if you opened new tabs specifically for this purpose), but will also endanger visitors. For example, if you have a user login page, the site located on the link can replace it with a copy of yours, but at the same time collecting user logins and passwords. This type of attack is called “phishing”.

And this is not a theoretical vulnerability. Google security experts noted “ a significant number of messages» about such interception of tabs for the purpose of introducing malicious software.

For those who are interested - technical details. The site opened in a new window accesses your page through the window.opener object in JavaScript. This is a read/write object that can be manipulated. Among other things, you can change the window.opener.location property and force the browser to go to the new address to open the image in a new HTML window.

Some browsers allow you to prevent this behavior by adding a rel="noopener noreferrer" attribute to the link. The example given at the beginning of the article would look like this:

thesitewizard.com

In theory, both rel="noopener" and rel="noreferrer" should be enough to protect against such an attack when opening the page in a new HTML window. In this case, it is more correct to use the rel=”noopener” attribute, since rel=”noreferrer” has a side effect - the browser will not transmit the URL of the request source to the site. But on this moment Not all browsers support the rel="noopener" attribute. Likewise, rel="noreferrer" is not supported by some browsers. Therefore, if you want to protect users of as many browsers as possible, you will probably need to use both attributes.

However, this technique only works on current versions Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Internet Explorer this function does not support, although I quickly checked version 11 of IE, and it seems to be protected from such an attack with the default security settings. About the browser Microsoft Edge I can’t say for sure.

In other words, the method described above cannot be called one hundred percent protection. The best way To avoid this problem - use normal links without the target="_blank" attribute.

Conclusion

A general recommendation is to avoid opening tabs in a new HTML window if possible. Of course, in some cases this cannot be avoided. In this situation, you can warn site visitors that “ Link opens in a new window" This won't help the average user much and won't protect them from phishing attacks through your site, but at least it won't annoy more experienced users.

Probably each of you, dear reader, will agree that an Internet browser is the most convenient software tool today, through which the user can interact with various kinds of web content with particular comfort. However, none of the popular software products, be it Google Chrome, FireFox or Opera, does not have sufficiently effective functionality that would protect a beginner from developing the malicious scenario: “Windows open in a new window.” Browser security features are sometimes powerless against the clever tricks of advertising programmers. As a result, the user becomes a victim of imposed transitions.

So, let's figure out what can be done in such situations. How to counteract digital deception and how to “cure” the browser from this kind of infection? We bring to your attention, dear reader, effective methods fight malicious redirects!

How does the “advertising chaos” mechanism work?

“Windows open in a new window” is a fairly common technique among techies who make money by generating traffic! Let's skip the description of the working algorithm of the redirection process, which is difficult for the uninitiated user to perceive. Let us only note that “redirection” can occur for several reasons:

  • Malware is installed on the user's machine software, which is most likely.
  • A viral script is used on the site page.
  • A prudent “businessman” purchased a plug-in for a specific browser and modified it in his own, so to speak, interests.

How will such information help prevent “browser arbitrariness” when windows open in a new window without our participation? The answer is below.

Signs of a computer system infection

It doesn’t matter at all which search engine you use: Google, Bing or Yandex. Advertising modules are used in each of them. But if you notice that the page that opens does not correspond to the entered address or that several windows open simultaneously for one request, this is a sign of infection! If software part If your PC is in the grip of a virus, it is quite understandable why the computer behaves so willfully during an Internet session.

So, typical symptoms of browser disease:

  • Spontaneously changed start page browser.
  • Without any action on the part of the user, strange windows open in a new browser window.
  • Bookmarks that previously worked flawlessly are not activated.
  • Unknown plugins and applications have appeared in extensions.
  • The most obvious sign of trouble is that a certain Internet page is loading and cannot be closed.

Having collected enough different information about you and tirelessly building your “network portfolio”, the virus begins to operate with the accumulated data, masterfully replacing your search queries and redirecting you as a “victim” to a resource whose owner pays for the work of the fraudulent optimizer. Despite the colossal financial costs of powerful IT companies aimed at combating “black” advertising methods, the trade of dishonest programmers is still a profitable business today.

What to do when an advertisement opens in a new window: software solutions

At first glance, such “harmless” browser behavior can simply annoy a person. A super-functional virus can completely deprive the user of peace of mind. After all, the advertising page may well not close or react quite capriciously to all the user’s attempts to close it. In this case, you need to use special anti-virus software.

Removing rootkits and trojans using Kaspersky TDSSKiller

  • Download the free utility from the official server.
  • After launching the application, activate the “Change settings” item.
  • In the next window, check the “Detect file system...” checkbox.
  • After making the settings, click the “Start scan” button.

A report will appear in a few minutes. The “new windows keep opening” problem will be resolved after you activate the “Continue” button.

Cleaning your system of spyware using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

An equally effective program that allows you to quickly get the system in order.

  • Install the utility downloaded from the Internet.
  • Upon initial startup, Malwarebytes will spontaneously begin updating the antivirus software.
  • After briefly downloading the new virus database, click on the “Fix Now” button.

  • The duration of the scan depends on the capacity of your drive.
  • If the PC is infected, a list of detected “infections” will be displayed in the program’s work area, which will be destroyed after you activate the “Apply Action” button.
  • Close the program and restart your computer.

Effective virus neutralizer - HitmanPro

This program will help you resolve the situation when a new browser window constantly opens. The excellent speed parameters of the program do not affect the quality of HitmanPro. Algorithm of actions:

  • After a complete scan of the PC, a list of virus-containing files will be displayed in the program window.
  • Click the "Next" button.
  • After the uninstallation process, close your antivirus software.

About some possible difficulties

Some virus programs can quite effectively prevent the installation and full operation of the ad-aware scanners described above. In such cases, you should boot the OS in safe mode and only then run anti-virus utilities.

  • At the moment when the computer goes through the initialization process, press the “F8” key (in some BIOS versions the function button may be different).
  • From the suggested download list, select " Safe mode network-enabled."

An indispensable assistant for web surfing

In some cases, it is advisable to use third-party software. For example, by installing the small Ad-Mancher application on your computer, you will save yourself from viewing constantly flashing banners and other things. At the same time, the process of getting acquainted with Internet content will become a truly enjoyable and extremely safe pleasure. A program that does not require resources will only occasionally remind you of its presence with a notification that an update needs to be downloaded. After free utility is integrated into the browser, the loading speed of Internet pages will increase significantly. In general, as soon as the user notices how new windows are opening unauthorized in his Internet browser, it is worth installing Ad-Mancher, and the problem will disappear.

Reset Internet Explorer settings

  • From the Help menu, click the Troubleshooting information link.
  • In the “FireFox Setup” block, press the “Clear...” button.

  • At the very bottom of the program window, you need to activate the “Show additional...” item.
  • At the bottom of the browser there is a “Reset settings” button - click on it.
  • Confirm the changes made to your browser.

Finally

And finally, let me give you some recommendations:

  • In almost every browser you can install a special extension that will block “script scripts” while surfing the web.
  • Before downloading any software from the Internet, ask yourself: “Is the source trustworthy?”
  • During the installation process, pay attention to additional items and marked check boxes. Perhaps they are trying to introduce unfavorable software to you.
  • Often, in the properties of a browser shortcut, malicious code writes a link to its own Internet resource.
  • Make sure your home page is set to the correct home page in the Internet Options section of the General tab.
  • Well, and the last solution (somewhat abstracted from the topic of the article, but, nevertheless, close in essence) to eliminate the situation we are considering. Below we will talk about how folders open in a new window...

Often the user is faced with a situation where work is a real nightmare. However, the mentioned problem becomes “ubiquitous” for the entire OS. To remove the “cluttering effect”, go to the “Folder Options” menu and check the “Open... in the same window” option. This action will allow you to get rid of the inconvenient moment when viewing files. That's all. We wish you effective solutions and virus-free software!

More detailed information about bookmarks can be found in the article

For most of us, the browser is the most popular and most frequently launched program on the computer. We use it to listen to music, watch movies, check email and so on. And although browsers are updated almost every week, they still have a lot of problems. One of them is that it is not the most convenient to work with a large number of tabs.

In fact, working with tabs is like that joke about cats. Don't you like cats? You just don't know how to cook them. You just need to learn how to work with tabs and use the browser functions suitable for this. And you will not be able to understand how you lived before.

Keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys)

Hotkeys are very convenient way tab management. Especially when the tabs become so tiny that they are even awkward to click on.

  • Ctrl+Tab- switch between tabs to the right side.
  • Ctrl + Shift + Tab- switch between tabs to the left.
  • Ctrl + W / Cmd + W on Mac- close the active tab.

These are just a few combinations that will allow you to quickly switch between tabs. Keyboard shortcuts exist. And some of them may force you to use your keyboard instead of your mouse to manage your tabs.

Remembering open tabs

When you constantly switch between your browser and another program, there is a chance that you may accidentally close the browser, and then you will have to open everything again. And it’s good if you remember what you had open. A browser feature that allows you to remember which tabs were open before closing it can save you from all this headache.

Enable this feature and thereby free yourself from unnecessary work in the future:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Starter group → Continue from the same place.
  • Firefox: Settings → General → When Firefox starts → Show windows and tabs last opened.
  • Apple Safari: Settings → General → Safari opens at startup → All windows from the last session.

Adding Tabs to Favorites

Another quick way saving open tabs to work with them later is to add them to a separate folder in bookmarks. To do this, right-click on the tab and select “Add tabs to favorites.” The item name may vary depending on different browsers, but it is easy to understand that this is exactly the item you need. As a result, a folder with the site addresses you need will appear in your bookmarks. Next, right-click on this folder, select “Open all bookmarks” - all tabs are again in front of us.

Sorting tabs into separate browser windows

Who said that all tabs must be in one browser window? You can sort your tabs across different windows. For example, you can move all the tabs that relate to one project to one browser window, and everything related to entertainment to another, and so on. Just drag the tab to an empty space on your desktop and a new window will open. Another way is to right-click on a link or bookmark and select “Open in new window” from the list.

Selecting multiple tabs at once

You can perform various actions not with one tab, but with several at once. But to do this, you first need to select these same tabs. Hold down the Ctrl key (or Cmd on Mac) and select the tabs you currently need. That's it, now you can close them, reload them, add them to bookmarks, and so on.

Pin tabs

IN modern browsers Good developers have a wonderful “Pin Tab” feature. This is very convenient if you keep one or another tab open all the time. For example, this could be a tab with Gmail or a music service. Once you pin a tab, it will be more difficult to close and will take up less space on the tab bar. Just right-click on the tab and select the desired item from the list.

Restoring a closed tab

Sometimes it turns out that you accidentally close a tab that you didn’t mean to close at all. Your hand twitched or you changed your mind at the moment of closing - anything can happen. To open this tab again, you can, of course, go to your browser history and find this site. Or you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T (or Cmd + Shift + T on Mac in Chrome and Firefox and Cmd + Z in Safari) to bring back this tab. You can also right-click on any tab in your browser.

Tab Groups in Firefox

Almost five years ago, the developers added Firefox browser very cool feature, which is called “Tab Groups”, or “Panorama”. She practically performs the trick described above. We are talking about using different browser windows for tabs. Only here all this is done more beautifully, and you don’t need to create a lot of windows. A couple of clicks and you’ve already switched to working on another project or, conversely, having fun after work. To launch tab groups, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + E or Cmd + Shift + E on Mac.

I hope that now your work with more browser tabs will be a little easier.
