Also please provide the URL of a page that shows the problem with Cmd-clicking a link.

For reference, I also wasn't able to reproduce this with the attached demo and the following repro steps in both Chrome 60.0.3086.0 (Canary) or 58.0.3029.81 (Stable).

1. Download popup.html, popuptester.html, and popupmaker.js, and put them in the same folder.
2. Open popup.html in Chrome. Cmd+Click on the link that says "Cmd+Click me"
3. Chrome opens a new tab showing popuptester.html, which should have had a "Popup blocked" icon/animation in the Omnibox/search bar.

(The attached files are for a scenario where a link points to another page that immediately opens a new window.)

CMD-clicking the link "246,048-core, NVIDIA-enhanced machine" on https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/04/nasa-turbocharge-pleiades-supercomputer-hpfcc-competition/ also triggers a pop-up block.

I confirmed that:
- This only seems to happen on Mac.
- It goes back to at least M50.

spqchan@, it looks like you've done some popup-related projects, mind taking a look?

I'm seeing this on every site that I visit, unless I allow pop-ups for that site. This bug also occurs with mouse middle click. Right clicking and selecting open in new tab works fine.

Pretty sure I was running 71.0.3578.62 without this bug.

Reproducible in Version 71.0.3578.75 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) on macOS 10.12.6.

1. Visit link https://www.google.com/search?q=wikipedia
2. Cmd+click link to https://www.wikipedia.org/
3. Pop-up notification displayed, and the new tab is not opened.

OH! Also a note that this bug occurs for links that specify `target="_blank"`. You can reproduce this behavior by clicking on the "View" link for the HTML attachments in comment #4.
