I still use rel="noopener noreferrer" on _blank links, but it's less of an issue than it was when first reported.

Could you elaborate on how it's less on an issue than before? Have browsers implemented some security strategies since the article was published?

I've seen this article (OP) a few times already, and it keeps reminding me to add rel="noopener noreferrer" on whatever site/system I'm working with at the time. In fact I just did that yesterday when I saw this article, to set up a way to automatically add it for external links, in my current dev workflow.

I'm going off of the tickets linked in the footer of the article, which seem to show they're being resolved.
Ah I see that now, it escaped my notice earlier. Thank you, that's good to know!
Hehe I was kidding. I’ve only sort of internalized it.
