Safari: Open all links in new tabs
By David Trumbell
In trying to migrate from Firefox to Safari on all of my Macs, one thing that has bothered me is the inability to do 1-window browsing (i.e. opening all links in new tabs instead of new windows). After scouring the interwebs, I am still unable to accomplish this in Safari v4.0.4 and Mac OS v10.6.2. Even though there are multiple blog posts out there explaining a simple solution, it doesn’t seem to work on any of my machines. Lastly, I know that SafariStand exists, but it seems both hacky and overkill for what I’m trying to accomplish.
Does anyone have a simple solution for this or know why the solution mentioned all over the web doesn’t work?
UPDATE
Pie in my face… Under “Safari->Preferences->General” there is an option “Open links from applications” and setting that to “in a new tab in the current window” is the exactly what I was looking for (reference). D’oh!
