Window Open Override Browser Extension

This extension allows you to override the behavior of window.open and remove target="_blank" from links on specified domains. It can be configured to work on any Chromium-based browser (such as Chrome, Edge, Brave) as well as Firefox.

Features

• Override window.open: Ensures that links that would normally open in a new tab or window open in the current tab instead.
• Remove target="_blank": Removes target="_blank" attributes from links, ensuring they open in the same tab.
• Customizable Domains: Specify which domains you want these behaviors to apply to.
• Flexible Control: Enable or disable both behaviors for individual domains.
