Chrome 88 Will Automatically Add rel noopener to Links with target _blank

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com

Google Chrome is getting a new feature that increases security when clicking on web page links that open URLs in a new window or tab.

When inserting links into an HTML page, authors can include the target="_blank" attribute that tells the browser to open the link in a new tab when clicked. However, this attribute has a known security issue that allows the newly opened page to utilize javascript to redirect the original page to a different URL. To prevent this from happening, a rel=”noopener” HTML link attribute was created that prevents a new tab from using JavaScript to redirect the page.

This feature is currently enabled in Chrome Canary and is expected to be released with Chrome 88 in January 2021.
