Pet Hate

It seems there is a trend blowing amongst webdesigners of South African public sector websites like a storm. Some idiots have taken it upon themselves to make every link open up in a new browser - and I'm not talking about opening links leading to new sites only but even those within the same site.

Apart from being really, really annoying, it is not necessarily good practice. The whole idea of surfing on the web means users go from one site to another, hence the name, LINK.

It is rude and it is really beginning to piss me off big time. If I want a new window to open, I'll do it myself, so if you are a web designer and happen to stumble over this post, STOP FUCKING WITH MY BROWSER!
