Question disable brower popup

a forum search did not find a suitable answer so here goes...

some books have code in chapter headers that causes the kobo to offer to launch it's experimental browser whenever you touch a chapter header

i think it is due to <a> tags or href= or both of those acting together

so is there a way to prevent this without editing the book e.g. prevent it happening with DRM protected library loans

disabling wi-fi does not help because you still get the offer to launch browser ?

PS it's not ONLY chapter headers, there can be other such links in boaks, but chapter headers is the most annoying because they are not genuine URL links, they are usually simple links back into the books own TOC or to its own internal XHTML pages
