Any time I click on a link outside of Orion it loads an Orion preview window instead of opening the browser.
They seem to have moved the setting to the "Tabs" panel in settings calling it "Link Preview". I actually stopped using Orion as my default browser after this change.
onionbrowser Sorry forgot to "@" mention you in the reply.
I'm also likely to stop using Orion over this even though I love everything else about it. It's extremely annoying. When I click a link I want it to open in the same browser window next to my other tabs where I can use all the elements of the browser, including bookmarklets, to do stuff with the page. I want the tab to open and stay there so I can switch back and forth to it. I don't want the mini preview window at all. At the very least please give us an easy way to disable this - I can't find a way to do it in the settings.
Last time I looked there I did not see it, maybe it was my fault! Thank you for that and for all the work that goes into this browser!

@Vlad would it be possible to add a setting that lets me invert the current behavior so that shift+click in another app opens the link in the preview window, but normal click defaults to opening in a regular tab?
In addition first time link preview is showed, there is text on top that also references this setting.a month later
There's a problem with the default behavior - websites which send a "forgot password" email, or a "magic link" email for login. The preview window "uses up" the unique token sent by those websites, so if you preview the link from Apple Mail for instance, then decide you want to open in Orion, the link is no longer valid, and you have to generate a new link, a new email etc. Not great!
elishasessions Moving preview to Orion tab does not reload the preview?
That's true. I never used the "move to tab" feature.

I agree with segphault. While the setting lets you change the default behavior, it also removes the ability to show the preview in times when you may want it. What I would like is for the default behavior to be that the link opens in a new tab, but that if you hold shift (or some other key) when clicking a link, you can force it to load in preview mode.
That would give you the best of both worlds, in my opinion, cause you could do nothing and get the default behavior of every other browser, but you could also one-off force a page to load in preview mode if you want to take a quick look at it.
