Unsafe links opening new tabs

WarningLow priority

Pages of this site that open another site in a new tab without rel=noopener or noreferrer.

Why it matters

The site opened can reach back through window.opener and send this tab somewhere else - a phishing trick. Current browsers imply noopener for target=_blank; older ones still in use do not.

How to fix it

Add rel=noopener to every link with target=_blank that leads to another site.

Skitter runs this check on every crawl, and lists each page it finds with the evidence: the header, the tag or the link that gave it away.
