For example, when I browse Digg.com, all non Digg.com links open in a new window. I hate that. I want all links to open in new tabs only. Is this possible? I know I can "cmd+click" to open links in new tabs, but I don't want that. I want any off-site link to be automatically opened in a new tab.

Have you had a look at your local neighborhood preferences yet?
 
To force new windows to open in tabs in Safari:
In Terminal.app, type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

It's not in preferences.
 
You can download secrets.prefpane from here.

This will let you enable lots of useful little tweaks that are not available to change via the default gui.
 
Did you try the Safari Preferences? In the General tab at the bottom, it should be set to Open links from current applications in a new tab in the current window.

I just DL'd Onyx and there is a setting in Onyx that allows you do exactly what you want. I was also looking for this feature and after enabling it through Onyx it works perfectly.
