Forcing new tabs - Bad practice?

Hi,

In your opinion is forcing links to open in a new tab/window terrible/bad practice?

I understand that letting the user choose when and where to open them is the best option but is it bad to force links to open in new tabs?

Thanks.

As always thank you.

Do you find it acceptable when some links on a page open in new browser tabs by default? And if yes, when?
