Re: [CGUYS] safari and new windows vs tabs
That's where I am at...kinda makes safari too annoying to use if I never know when I click a link if I'm getting a new window, new tab or reload on the same page. http://twitter.com/#search?q=%22Apple%20iPad%22%20OR%20%23Ipad When you click on a twitpic link etc on that page, it opens a new tab in safari?
