Quoting from author of this hack:
"I've always thought user should be able to choose where to load new documents
from links. I say you as developer can use a cookie and provide that option if
user wants to, but only if user wants to (see my preferences form at the end of
page). A lot of other people think the best option is not letting them think
and open everything in a new window. I hate those situations. What if i want to
stay in my window? Hey, if i like your site i'll be back... Anyway, they insist
in using target _blank. Well, all that's finished. Bye bye target _blank. Wanna
know how? Keep reading..."
This could be added to debian package of firefox easily. It just consists of:
- preloading the greasemonkey extension
(http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/)
- preinstall a simple user script like this:
**********************BEGIN
// ==UserScript==
// @name killblank
// @namespace http://meddle.dzygn.com
// @description Gets rid of annoying target="_blank" links (damm, i
want to decide my target!)
// @include *
// ==/UserScript==
(function () {
var external = document.links;
for (var k=0; k<external.length; k++){
if (external[k].href) {
external[k].target = "_self";
}
}
})();
*********************END
(improved version from the one in
