That was said in this post in 2017, but a 2021 update on a page that tests whether taking control works with links without the rel attribute (https://mathiasbynens.github.io/rel-noopener/), which it currently does on Pale Moon unless you're using one of the userscripts mentioned elsewhere on this forum, it states that a spec change (with a link to this GitHub issue) has meant browsers now set it by default for any target="_blank" links that have no rel= attribute.Moonchild wrote:It is up to the webmasters to add this property to links if they do not want the linked site to have control over their page.
This is entirely to protect the webmaster's site (prevent opener navigation control) - nothing else.
So does the spec change mean it will likely need to be applied to Pale Moon too (rather than solely relying on the webmasters) now that this behaviour is expected?
