 #43187 introduced adding of `rel="noopener noreferrer"` to links with
 `target="_blank"` as a security precaution. Later, in #49558 `noreferrer`
 was removed as no longer needed.

 Since then most browsers were updated to imply `noopener` on links with
 `target="_blank"` making #43187 and similar changes not relevant any more.
 See:
 https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#following-hyperlinks
 (specs),
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#browser_compatibility.

 Adding this ticket now as a reminder to remove all `noopener` when all
 newer browsers implement the specs.
