This was a deliberate behavior change to address the following highly annoying problem:

---------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/
2. Middle/command click one of the video links

Results: The whole window is resized.  I would expect the new tab to not affect the size of the window.
---------------------------

Judging from the number of complaints here and in duplicates, it is possible that the cure was worse than original problem. I can see how this is a problem for Web designers.
