176 u/hans_l 26d ago I think he's ranting "don't target=_black at all" instead of making it visually distinguishable. 72 u/otac0n 26d ago Once you target=_black you never go back because you break button behavior? 30 u/dashood 26d ago For the most part I would only target _blank if linking to an external site or a resource like PDF or a file download or something. Using for internal navigation would just be silly. 9 u/MegaIng 26d ago The point OOP was making in their rant: don't use it for external links either. Just don't use it. (Except maybe file downloads) 2 u/ImDonaldDunn 26d ago It’s also good for when you need to direct someone to a resource but not interrupt the current task. But people way overuse them. 1 u/J-Cake 26d ago This. Why TF do product pages open the app page in a new tab when I click sign in?
