Open All External Links in New Tab

External links in content open in a new tab with privacy- and SEO-friendly rel attributes.

Overview

Automatically opens external links in post content, excerpts, comments, and text widgets in a new tab. Adds/merges rel values noopener noreferrer nofollow. Host matching ignores www. differences. Also enqueues JS so dynamically inserted links are handled. No settings—enable and go. Distinct from the menu-item new-tab module.
