I can't understand why so many websites use an onclick handler on a button to redirect to websites. It's not hard to even find something like <a href="#" onclick="location.href='https://example.com';">click https://example.com';">click here</a> The worst part is that it's not just random websites doing this, this can be found on most FAANG websites as well.
