- Dalewyn 3y agoSpeaking as someone who learned how to make websites 20 years ago, target="_blank" is traditionally only for links leading to another, completely different and separate website. For example, if you have a link going to Google somewhere you might put target="_blank" on it. Otherwise, its use has always been frowned upon because it breaks the back button (it's a new window/tab!), disrupts context (unless that disruption makes sense, like above), and spams the taskbar/tab bar.
- navaneethpk 3y agoThanks. The issue is now fixed.
- masa331 3y agoIt's a bad practice always since the user can easily choose if he/she wants to open it in new tab by themselv but not the other way. For a user there is zero benefits in this practice
- smokel 3y ago"The user" on a typical website does not know how to do this. For a user there is the benefit that they will not lose their presence on the website. Many users do not know how to navigate back. Of course, in times long gone a new window would appear, and the pattern made even more sense than with tabs. If you would have left out the word "always", I might have agreed that for this particular website and intended audience, it does not make much of a difference.
- Eddygandr 3y agoRight click, open in new tab? I’m surprised if most people don’t know this
- smokel 3y agoIf with "most people" you mean people aged 12 to 30, possibly with some form of higher education, then I grant you your surprise. However, most people are not very skilled when it comes to computers.
- Dalewyn 3y agoI implore you to see how most people use computers more, because no: Most people don't know how to right click. Most people don't know tabs or multiple windows, either.
