So, opening links in a new tab, or at least a hover-on-popup* would be a most welcome addition.

* would this be doable at all? A window that displays when you hover over a server-link where one could see which settings are in effect in the server (at the very least, a full name of the server, as that's usually where admins write stuff like "1000% tickets")
Thanks for the great suggestion! The biggest reason I made this utility is to lower memory usage a full browser uses. I'll work on extra tab and see if the memory usage goes up or not. If it doesn't then I'll add it. Thanks!

Hey AphexDreamer! My Utility is just using the VB.Net WebBrowser Control. So, there shouldn't be any more security issues other than what ie already has. Plus, there shouldn't be any security issues just using it for battlelog. I put more browser features into it because if the browser needs something to fully use battlelog and is redirected to that site to upgrade they can navigate back to Battlelog after the update. My "BF3 Browser Utility" only calls out to check the version, and if it's different then it tells you there is an update available. Also, I would only download the "BF3 Browser Utility" here in this thread from "Techpowerup.com". Downloading it from anywhere else could be bad.
