Comment (by afercia):

 @cyclic thanks for your comment. In WordPress, that link has been changed
 in a button element with a `type="button"`attribute and as such, it
 doesn't have any default action to prevent. Previously, it was an anchor
 tag and thus it needed a `return false` to prevent the link default
 action.

 For accessibility reasons, links that are not real links and instead
 perform an action should be buttons. In the last months,

 WordPress has changed many non-links in buttons] and still there are many
 other ones to change. Ideally, the plugin you mentioned should follow
 core's best practices and change its link in a button :)
