No New Tabs (formerly Death To _blank)

One tab to rule them all.

This extension does exactly what it says: it stops links from opening in new tabs. Whether it's an old-school link with a target="_blank" attribute or a modern site using JavaScript to spawn tabs, No New Tabs forces the content to open right where you are.

If I wanted a new tab, I would have opened one myself!

THE UNBREAKABLE UPDATE (v3.0.0). Earlier versions only worked by stripping basic HTML attributes like . Version 3.0.0 now handles every technique websites use to open new tabs—it also intercepts JavaScript to keep new pages in the current tab. Temu can't get away with it anymore.

Can't live without this extension. It works for about 95% of sites and only fails when there's complex JS-based link handlers, like on Quora.

Didn't do what I was hoping. There's a website I frequent that has hidden links in places users would click which cause an unintended occurrence of a new tab opening with a different website. Upon using Death to _blank on that site all it does is prevent the new website from being open in a new tab. It does not however prevent that other website from being loaded. Instead, now that website loads in the same tab as the original site. So, essentially this just makes the problem worse.

Thank you ... works perfectly as stated. Kills all links with "_blank" target (which creates new tabs) from appearing, unless they're javascript powered (in gmail and some other sites), which is fine. Keeps it much cleaner for me!! Thank you!

As of 04-20-2018 I've been using "Death To _blank" now about 30 days GREAT EXTENSION!! You saved me from writing my own script, THANK YOU. I'd highly recommend this to anyone that goes to sites that open additional pages that start out as; "about:blank" in a new tab & then goes to a new website you don't want! Works we'll with Ad Blocker Plus and VPN service, even using on old Chrome Version 49.0.2623.112m running under Win XP SP3.. One other thing I've noticed if anyone is having it not working on a site try unchecking the "Allow access to file URLs" setting under the; "Manage extensions" area. I think some people have just not figured out how to set it up to use it before they give up on it, even though it is SO VERY EASY TO USE.. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING THIS AVAILABLE!

Pas de possibilité de mettre à la fois des sites bloqués et des sites autorisés. C'est soit l'un soit l'autre.

That was simple! It really fixed my issue I had with a website opening new tabs all over the place. I used the blacklist so no other websites are affected.

Awesome! This app is a must-have on Chinese websites (they seem to love opening new tabs)
