Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. I'm using an EMS-hosted element web 1.11.42
2. As usual, I opened a second tab to go to the element URL in order to handle a coding related manner while keeping an eye on an organizational space, and participating in a documentation-related discussion
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
Second tab works, as it always used to – after all, having more than one window open is a very classical power-user workflow
#### What happened instead?

I got a message
> Element is open in another window. Click "Continue" to use Element here and disconnect the other window.
and that's more than annoying. This makes element worse to use than a significant part of the competition, which we decided against a while back.
