[MacTUG] connect.uwaterloo.ca issue with Safari and new page

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Ya, it is neat when you want it to happen and irritating when you don't,
haha.

Yes it would have been nice if you could turn it on and off but I appreciate
the intent. My solution it to do a Command-T (Control-T) to open a new tab
(which is what I usually do anyhow instead of opening a new window)

I agree with Trevor, including the idea that whether you like it or not, it
sure makes the browser feel like a real client!
