The behaviour definitely hasn't changed between 2.16 and 2.18.
Anyway this horse has been beaten to death multiple times already.
Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105153 for the

Yes. There is a simple third-party extension called "Blank New Tab". You
can find it on:

Have fun using Epiphany!
