The iOS Native App does this too and it suuuuuucks. Every single link I click on opens a new tab in my browser and I either need to remember to manually close them before hitting the tiny little back button in the top corner or I end up with a laundry list of every single thing I clicked on as open tabs in my browser the next time I open it.
This is on my (admittedly very short) list of things that they are going to have to fix pretty darn soon if Iβm going to keep using the app. Almost every other gripe I have with this app is relatively minor, but this one isnβt. At least not to me.
