"On a phone, this would be the expected behaviour." On a phone, I think it would be better if it opens a new tab (OK), and your focus is on that new tab. I think it's better, because if you're on your phone, and you click on the "twitter button", you can't immediatly realize if your click was ok. Somebody could click two o three time before realizing that webbrowser app already open two or three new tabs.
This is what actually happens with Firefox on Android and even with Explorer on Windows Phone. A new Ubuntu Phone user - coming from that user experience - should expect it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530376 Title: On desktop, target="_blank" link should open new windows, not background tabs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1530376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
