Prevent "target" attribute

Description

This script looks for links with "target" attribute set to "_blank" and strips this attribute. This prevents surf from unexpectedy opening new windows. (Opening new windows by middle click or via context menu still works.)

Code

function untarget() {
	var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
	Array.prototype.slice.call(links).forEach(function(anchor, index, arr) {
		if (anchor["target"] == "_blank")
			anchor.removeAttribute("target");
	});
}

window.onload = untarget;
