Unscrupulous Website Adverts Again Redirecting Some Users to App Store From Safari ⇥ 9to5mac.com

As long as App Store links opened from Safari automatically open the store itself, scummy advertisers will find a way to abuse it. Perhaps the elegant solution would be to open Store links from iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store in a sheet, instead of redirecting to the stores themselves. It would certainly feel less jarring than being thrown into a different app entirely.
