Solved How to prevent pages from opening new tabs?

It would appear you have a curious version of Vivaldi 1.3 or at least an uncommon one. Here, on Windows 10, Vivaldi://settings/content in 1.3.519.25 takes me to the general Vivaldi settings page, which has no setting for popups.
Chrome://settings/content takes you to a page that has the setting, but it's already pre-set to block all popups in my case. So I'm not sure what one can gain there.
We're on the same page, but your version would appear to be unique.
As you say, strange, using 64 bit versions of both Windows 10 and 1.3.519.25; vivaldi://settings/content takes me to the chromium page and after scrolling a little

Which is the page Hadden89 was referring to, so my version is NOT unique

I can't find this settings... there is some setting in adblocker but it doesn't actually work in most cases. Is there any way to disallow a page to open new pages on new tabs at all, no matter what?

@flashthunder Open in Vvaldi internal page
chrome://settings/content/popupsand you can set exceptions. -

seems that this setting doesn't work after click, so still lots of popups do appear, because of some javascript intercepting click events on the site... any way to disallow that behavior totally? like NEVER EVER EVER open anything in new tab from current page (block it all)? even if I would beg on my knees for that as an user?

@flashthunder In Vivaldi's Settings ā Privacy you can set Defaults Popups to Block.
The you will never see Popup windows. -

I think we are talking about different things here. Links opening in new tabs are not popups - it's just opening a new tab. This is controlled by the site code and the browser is required to follow what the site code says according to the specs. It's not the same as a popup window.
It would be good if you gave an example site where this happens so we can verify what we're actually talking about here.
Here's an example:

Iftarget="_blank"is specified in the code, clicking the link will always open a new tab.The only way around this that I know is to use right-click > open link, it opens in the current tab. Other than that, you'd probably need an extension to handle it, this one looks like it's working:
