Stupid Twitter Question

[George K]

Until this week, when I clicked on a tweet, it would open in a new browser window, or tab. It was simple to copy the url of the tweet and paste it here.

In the last few days, clicking on a tweet opens the Twitter app on my Mac.

So, two questions:

1. Is it possible to make Twitter open the link in a browser, and if so, how?
2. If #1 is impossible, where's the link for the tweet in the Twitter Web App so it can be copied?

I don’t know if 1 is possible without uninstalling the twitter app, I don’t like to use the app on my Mac anyway.

#2 is easy. If you click on this (on the bottom of the tweet):

You get this:

@jon-nyc thanks. I didn't see that share thing.

Just as an experiment, I put the Twitter Web App and Tweetdeck in the trash (but didn't delete them).

Now, clicking on a tweet opens a Safari web page.

You are not talking about the behavior of this forum but more generally how your browser deals with Twitter links, right?

@klaus that's right.

@klaus this forums behavior is reprehensible. Shouting. Argumentative, full of puzzles that unwashed masses cannot even begin to comprehend.

Just despicable.

Forum, go sit in the corner.
