Greasy Fork

Difference to [target="_blank"]

Hi. Could you please tell me why popup blockers like https://add0n.com/popup-blocker.html will block some a elements with [target="_blank"]?

I had a script https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/33522-super-preloaderplus-one-new which appends the next page content to the current page. The script adds [target="_blank"] attribute to all a elements. In a recent discussion here https://github.com/machsix/Super-preloader/issues/222, a user told me popup blockers will block such kind of new tab. I tested it on greasyfork forum and it indeed happens. I have no idea why such thing happen. Thank you!

I have no idea because I'm not using neither this script (despite being its author) nor those other scripts you've mentioned. This script is utilizing GM_openInTab.
