Features & Capabilities

TargetKiller is a Chrome extension designed for users frustrated with websites that forcibly open links in new tabs, disrupting their browsing flow and cluttering their tab bar. By removing all target attributes—including _blank, _new, and custom values—from links across webpages (except within child frames), it ensures every link opens in the current tab unless you decide otherwise.

This extension restores your control over link behavior, prevents unexpected new tabs, and preserves your browser's back button functionality. However, users should note that because it alters link targets globally, some websites may not function as expected. TargetKiller is perfect for those seeking a cleaner, more predictable browsing experience.

Is TargetKiller Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

TargetKiller requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

TargetKiller has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
