Death To _blank vs WebClear

Have you ever clicked on a link and had it open a new tab? This is often caused by links using the 'target=_blank' attribute. Death To _blank fixes this problem by removing the '_blank' attribute from links, meaning that most links will open in the current tab. This extension is a port of 'Death To _blank' for Chrome, and has been developed in collaboration with its author. 'Death To _blank' also removes a few other 'target' values that can cause links to open in new pages (e.g. "blank" and "new").
