This problem is exacerbated on mobile, where the old window is never visible.
New windows or tabs can cause disorientation, with users often not realizing that a new window or tab has opened.More windows or tabs increase the clutter of the user’s information space and require more effort to manage.All of these also apply to opening new browser tabs and are still valid today:
This attribute tells the browser how to open the link. To open a link in a new tab, we'll need to look at some of the other attributes of the anchor element's other attributes.
This is the default behavior in every browser. If you click on the link above, the browser will open the link in the current window or tab.
To create a link on a web page, you need to wrap an element (text, a picture, and so on) in an anchor ( ) element and set its href attribute to the URL you want to link to. If you've ever wondered how to do that with your own links, you've come to the right place. Tabs are so common now that, when you click on a link, it's likely it'll open in a new tab. Tabs are great, aren't they? They allow the multitasker in all of us to juggle a bunch of online tasks at the same time.
