Upgrade

It will be here on Monday.

Safari 4 Beta + Digg.com = Frustration

So of course I went out and downloaded the new Safari 4 Beta as soon as it came out (you should too), but encountered a serious issue right off the bat.

I am a serious fan of digg.com and noticed right away that Safari 4 was opening all of the links from Digg in a ‘New Window’ instead of in a ‘New Tab’. This might not sound like a huge deal, but for me it was going to be a Safari killer. Turns out this can be fixed easily (although I only have the fix for Mac at this point):

Here’s the fix via a digg comment from TheMagnificen7

Post: Safari 4: Eye Candy or Seriously Useful?

“Try this in terminal in Mac OS X

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

If you are using Windows, I’m not sure if there is a work-around.”

It worked for me (I had to restart Safari after running the command) and now all my clicks open links in new tabs rather than new windows.
