It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target="_blank" to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

However there’s no easy way to force a browser to open a link in the current tab if the site wants to use a new tab.

Just hit ctrl+w after clicking the link. That will close the current tab.
