#### Unable to open links in new tab
- Are you using the [no-popups switch](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface#no-popups)?
- Are you using a Chromium-based browser?
If you answer "yes" to both questions above, this is your problem (from link above):
> **Caveat for Chromium-based browsers:** Due to Chromium API limitations, it's not possible for uBlock 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.

Unfortunately, your Chrome browser executable has probably been [tampered by malware](https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=391552#c153):
> At this point we're pretty sure that this error is primarily caused by malware / unwanted software on your machine actively tampering with the contents of the chrome binary and your user profile directory data
You will need to clean up whatever malware tampered with your Chrome browser installation. Starts here:
