It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

    Yeah, but no: blind and visually impaired people have troubles navigating the web because of these links that are opened in a new tab/window.

    It could be an option to activate, though.

      Yeah, this is the real reason you’re not supposed to open external links in a new tab. It’s an accessibility issue.
