There are some web dev myths that just live on and on — one of them: you should set `rel=noopener` on `target=_blank` links to null `window.opener`.

Browsers have done this automatically for four years. 😉

HTML example showing that a link without `rel=noopener` is that same as a link without it. This implicit behavior is support since Chrome 88, Firefox 79 and Safari 12.1.

@stefan I guess they live on because of the commercial need to support impossibly old browser versions...

@emma @stefan
Or because it still works when you add it, and old habits (and old SO answers) die hard.
