Perhaps then I should be asking why the "Visit Site" link in the WordPress admin center opens in a new pag/tab/window/browser/whatever and not in the same one..

I can understand that functionality for stuff like "preview" and whatnot, but I'd *think* that "Visit Site" would be a normal link, unless one shift/ctrl+clicks it.
