This PR allows developers to disable the opening of potentially unwanted pop-up windows.
By default, Electron doesn't prevent sub-windows to be opened out of a window. This would for instance be the case if a user middle-clicks a link. This behaviour is potentially undesirable in a desktop application, as it enables the user to "break out" of a window.
To prevent additional windows from opening, this PR adds a
suppressNewWindows()method that can be applied when opening a new window. It will prevent any pop-up windows being opened.Laravel PR: NativePHP/laravel#685
