Google chrome (How to stop it from opening new tabs(windows))

[DTBA]

I have been working on something for a while now on a server.


But I have a problem. I have google chrome installed and it needs to open video links (working 100%)

If you say click on a hyper link, But it has come down to.. I need it always to open everything in the same window.

But now it keeps opening the video in a new tab when you click on a hyperlink outside of chrome? is there anyway around this

click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the google search
click "search settings"
scroll down to "where results open"
make sure that the box "open each selected result in a new browser window" is NOT marked
make sure you save the changes
BAM! problem solved

It forces all links to use the current tab

But in chrome

So you want the browser to just display one page if you click on a hyperlink that point to a different page then the current page should close and open the new one from the hyperlink?

yes 100%

It needs to overwrite current tab

Not at the pc currently but I sort of want to say that in chrome that's not possible at all. It will either open a new tab or a new window like a new instance of chrome.

Perhaps look at "one tab" it's a chrome extension that displays all your tabs in one window.
