Why should this extension be included?
I write several long form posts with links to peer reviewed research. These “off forum” external links are important. Many of my website users are ‘retired/older’ and will likely simply click on article links without knowing “how to get back!” 🙂 I also intend including affiliate links in certain places and these would be best served opening in a new tab for my older users, who will access via laptops and prefer to ‘close down’ Tabs once opened/read etc.
This extension gives the option for URLs to target=“_blank” etc.
