Thanks for your feedback. Indeed this is not the first time that the 
subject has been brought up. Epiphany doesn't have a way to force popup 
windows into tabs (if I recall correctly, this decision was made in the 
early days because it could break proper functioning of some web sites). 
However, you can block popups and unhide them if you encounter a blocked 
popup that you want to see. Also, you can tell Epiphany to open pages 
that are requested by another process in a new tab, you can do this by 
going into the Preferred Applications preference window and selecting 
the corresponding radio button.

regards,
