Link's Awakening

Denotes text link properties with different icons.

This script originally started as my own version of an already existing script called, Indicate off-site Links. I saw room for improvement, and so I started working on my own version. Since then, I've thought of a couple different things and so I've implemented them here. Because of this, I felt the need to rename the script from 'Link-Off' to 'Link's Awakening' to declare the "awakening" of the links. =P

Features:

* Identifies which text links lead you to another domain
* Identifies text links for different protocols (i.e. irc, mail, ftp, aim)
* Extensible domain name parser
* Ability to have separate domain suffix lists
* Allows per-protocol settings

If you notice any bugs in the script, please feel free to email me at ddudics{at}gamedudex.com or visit my site and leave a comment there.

I'm sorry. I've been gone for a while and actually forgot that I wrote this.

As it is, no, there is no way to configure it to open all pages in a new window.

That's something that I wouldn't mind adding, I just need to find the time -- which right now is not looking to be anytime soon.

You're welcome to change it yourself if you want to delve into the Javascript.

If you also want better control over your tabs or so, I would actually recommend the "TabMix Plus" extension for Firefox. This extension will let you do what you like with even greater control.

Is there a way to configure it to open outside links always in a blank page even if the target says the source page?
