I don't understand how forcing all your visitors to open all your
links in new browser windows, and breaking the back-button functionality,
can be more user-friendly than teaching the users to press the middle
mouse button if they want to open a new window.
Google gives you the option to open all search results in new browser
windows, but I wouldn't dream of activating that option. Sometimes it's
best to open search results in new browser windows, but at other times
when you're sure that a particular search result is exactly what you've
been searching for, Google forcing you to open that result in a new
window would be maddening.
How is Chainki different from Google?
