Q: Why do the Internet browsers open new windows instead of new tabs?

A: “If you right click on a link and select ‘open as a new tab,’ it will open as a new tab…by default, if it doesn’t want to replace the Web page, the normal operation is to create a new window. At the time [Internet Explorer] was developed, none of the browsers had tabs.”
