 Hello,

 Summation: Code and/or plugin needed to remove rel="noreferrer noopener"
 from links.

 Detailed Issue:

 Opening links in new tab/window refrains interruption of the content being
 read, viewed, and/or listened to.

 And it is recommended to open new tabs/windows more often than not, e.g.
 losing reading position, interrupting AI readers, etc. Yes, it is safe to
 open new tab/window via _blank, additionally, it isn’t black hat, and does
 not carry pessimistic tendencies, as well as reference for page rank, not
 talking about uninterrupted SEO of direct traffic. Aforementioned is
 important because only 4.1 billion people use the internet, about 56.7 of
 global population, therefore knowing a reference is important.

 How can this be remedied, by removing rel="noreferrer noopener"?

 rel="noreferrer noopener" is added automatically, it is re-added (after
 being removed) upon saving/publishing.

 Is there a code and/or plugin that works and does this?

 There are references of code for functions.php and plugins that haven’t
 been updated in years. Code does not work, and we’re reluctant to use the
 outdated plugins.

 Not window.opener.location issue.

 Looking forward to having this resolved.

 Thank you in advance.

 Best regards.
