The reason that we did not put rel="noopener noreferrer" on these links is that we are assuming that joomla.org is safe and doesn't need this security prevention.

In addition if you insist on the links opening in a new window then you must add information that the link opens in a new window.

In some cases we might use external sites like github too and IIRC it does not hurt right?

Any suggestion how? IIRC we have an css class for this? Or do you think we should do it different?

No doesnt hurt

try something like < span class = sr-only > opens in a new window </ span

try something like < span class = sr-only > opens in a new window </ span

Do we already have an example / string in core for this so we are reinventing the wheel here also does this need to go in staging as this is a PR against staging?
