**Caveat:** It's not _always_ possible for uBO to determine for sure whether a new tab being opened is that of a popup, or is the result of a legitimate click on a link by the user. So if the no-popups switch is in use, you _may_ not be able to open a link in a new tab through the context menu.
On mobile devices, the "No popups" icon is not available because of screen space issues. If you like, you can turn it back on in [advanced settings](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-settings#uipopupconfig).
