That’s an interesting suggestion, I’m adding an ubuntu-ux task to the
bug so that the design team can have a look and comment. Thanks Dario!

Title:
  On desktop, target="_blank" link should open new windows, not
  background tabs

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In webbrowser-app, when you share a web page using the "share buttons", you get the wrong tab: you remain on the same tab instead being on the new tab.
  You can reproduce the bug every time, e.g.:
  1) open the link http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/12/space-for-europe-and-for-all-humankind-a-brief-history-of-the-esa/
  2) click on the "social button Twitter" (see attacchment "1")
  3) the webbrowser-app opens a new tab, but you remain on the first one (see "2")
  4) if you click on the first tab, you refresh it so you can see the page (see "3")
  5) if you click on the second tab, you can see the right page, and you can share the link (see "4")

  Happens with webbrowser-app 0.23+15.10.20150929-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu
  15.10 desktop and Ubuntu Phone OTA 8.5.
