In order to open a link from your website, we need to use the anchor tag <a> in HTML.
Inside the anchor tag the URL is added to the href parameter.
<a href="https://www.google.com/" >Google</a>
Now to open the link in a separate tab, we add target="_blank" but this makes the website vulnerable to phishing attacks.
<a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google</a>
How to prevent phishing attacks?
Opening an external link in a new tab makes your website vulnerable. The site you link can gain access to the window containing your website and can change it to display different webpage. This is called phishing. In order to make your website secure from tabnabbing, we add rel="noopener noreferrer"
<a href="https://www.google.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google</a>
Happy Coding!
