Then it should be intelligent enough to know it's not its own computer or browser I am using. I'm the one that gets to decide if a new tab or window is appropriate on my computer. If a page automatically opens a new window without first warning me that will happen and giving me an alternative option, I exit them both, never to willingly return, as long as some less rude alternative exists. With things like banking sites, I change banks, or grab the new window's URL out of history and open it in a new tab. > I typically design so that if you stay within the domain you > stay in the window.

I have no trouble using my browser's history function whenever than turns out to be necessary. Commonly if I find I've entered a new domain, I hit back, then open the link in a new tab, preserving the parent tab's lineage. I generally make my links to offsite look different on hover than onsite links, easily done with mere CSS, and I often add a tooltip on hover to highlight that it's offsite. -- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.
