New description:

 What is the difference between `noopener` and `noreferrer` on
 thetradetable.com?

--

Comment:

 Hi! Both are nearly obsolete security precautions when opening links in a
 new tab. The `noreferrer` was added for browsers that did not support
 `noopener`, and now the `noopener` is assumed with `target="_blank"` in
 modern browsers.

 Of course, if you open the page/resource in the same tab, those attribute
 values should not be added.
