I have a friend who recently switched from PC to a Macbook Air. She's using Google Chrome and telling me that often times when she clicks a link it is opening in a new window, and that behavior seems strange to her because it doesn't happen on the PC.
I know in Google Chrome you can use Command to force a link to open in a new tab, but is there sort of the opposite: a way to keep a link from opening in a new tab?
She also mentioned that sometimes when she clicks on dropdown style menus in webpages (generated with the <select> element, that they won't actually drop down.
I can't think of any settings that would be causing this strange behavior (I thought about the Chrome preferences and also the trackpad preferences) - but are there any?
Finally, I was looking for a page that had links with some and javascript/new-window examples so I could send it to her to test, but I didn't have any luck.
So in summary:
1) Is there a way on Chrome to force links to open in the current tab?
2) Are there any settings chrome/trackpad/etc that would be causing strange behaviors?
3) Does anyone know of a good test page for testing different types of links?

Earlier there was a "Recently Closed Tabs" section in sidebar of google chrome browser which shows the "links of websites" tabs which are closed recently.
Yesterday I have updated to new beta version of google chrome to check out the themes functionality, but I am not seeing the " Recently closed tabs" section in beta version anywhere, is there any settings which I need to enable to see that section??

When I open a new tab in Chrome Beta beneath the thumbnails is a section called Recent Activities which shows pages I had open recently.
If you're not seeing this click the triangle button at the top right of the new tab page and select "Show recent activities" from the menu.
