Mutiple tabs opening in Safari when ads hovered over

CultHero · Jan 30, 2013, 01:35 PM

this is getting really annoying. On certain websites www.cnn.com for example, there are ads that when my mouse hovers over them, they instantly open a tab for that product. I can end up with tons of tabs open that I then have to go close.

Is there any way to prevent this?

thanks
