Usually, when chrome is not loading pages, it's down to problems with your internet connection or the browser itself. While the above scenario is an unfortunately frequent reality, it doesn't have to be a serious problem. It doesn't get less frustrating the more times we have to deal with chrome not loading pages.
I want to browse the way I want to browse, and any sites that break that pattern are likely to annoy me, and that is not a good way to drum up business.Have you ever tried to get access to information or resource desperately from a website only to find the website not opening in Chrome, despite repeated trials? Chances are, most of us have had to contend with this issue at one point or another. And I’m sorry but the chances are that you don’t. You’re taking control of the situation away from the users, and assuming you know what is best for them. But if you’ve set target="_blank", only the one person in 80 who is smart enough to run Opera can choose to open that link in the current window/tab. Whether you’ve specified a target or not, the vast majority can open a link in a new window/tab if that’s what they want to do.
Most people who have a sophisticated enough browsing technique to make good use of having multiple windows/tabs are perfectly capable of shift+clicking or whatever other method they prefer to open a link in a new window/tab. If people follow a link away from your website and want to go back to it, they know how to do that by using the back button. The number of people browsing the web who don’t understand the back button is so small as to be statistically insignificant. Having a link open in a new window when you don’t want it to has always been annoying, but having a link open in a new window instance of a tabbed browser, rather than in a new tab, is even more annoying and potentially disorientating. But now … does it mean open in a new window, or a new tab? Some browsers default to one, some default to the other, some make it a user preference setting. Once upon a time, target="_blank" meant ‘open in a new window’. While browser behaviour in most areas has converged over the years, this is one area where it has diverged, with the arrival of tabbed browsers into the mainstream. Regarding your comment about not forcing links to open in new window, what would you suggest to ensure that a visitor has the best user experience when visiting a travel directory with 6,000 manually reviewed listings?ĭon’t specify a target for the link, not in the HTML or with Javascript.
