Chrome opens new window every link
That's frustrating!
Chrome has a feature called "Open link in new tab" or "Open link in new window" that can be enabled or disabled. Here are a few possible solutions to help you:
Method 1: Disable "Open link in new tab"
- Click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the Chrome browser window.
- Click on "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to the "Appearance" section.
- Uncheck the box next to "Open links from other apps in the associated app" (this might be the culprit).
- Click "Relaunch" to apply the changes.
Method 2: Disable "Open link in new window"
- Click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the Chrome browser window.
- Click on "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to the "Advanced" section.
- Click on "System" from the left-hand menu.
- Uncheck the box next to "Open links in new window" (this might be the issue).
- Click "Relaunch" to apply the changes.
Method 3: Use a Chrome extension
There are several Chrome extensions available that can help you control how links are opened. Here are a few options:
- "Link Open Options" - This extension allows you to customize how links are opened, including the option to open them in the same tab.
- "Open Link in Same Tab" - This extension forces links to open in the same tab, rather than a new one.
- "Link Manager" - This extension provides more advanced link management options, including the ability to customize how links are opened.
To install a Chrome extension, follow these steps:
- Go to the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for the extension you want to install.
- Click the "Add to Chrome" button.
- Click "Add extension" in the pop-up window.
Method 4: Check your browser settings
If none of the above methods work, you can try checking your browser settings to see if there's a specific setting that's causing the issue. To do this:
- Click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the Chrome browser window.
- Click on "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to the "Advanced" section.
- Click on "Reset and clean up Google Chrome" from the left-hand menu.
- Follow the prompts to reset your browser settings.
I hope one of these methods helps you resolve the issue!
