Hasty Treat - Target=_blank security issue? What's the deal with noopener and noreferrer?

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about noopener and noreferrer and why you should use them with links that have blank targets.

Sentry - Sponsor

If you want to know what’s happening with your errors, track them with Sentry. Sentry is open-source error tracking that helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real time. Cut your time on error resolution from five hours to five minutes. It works with any language and integrates with dozens of other services. Syntax listeners can get two months for free by visiting Sentry.io and using the coupon code “tastytreat”.

Show Notes

03:35 - What’s the big deal?

If you have a link that is target="_blank" you should add rel=“noopener” and rel=“noreferrer”
Retail Me Not uses it
Valid use cases:
- Same domain change the page from a popup
- Cross domain changing page data
Example: https://mathiasbynens.github.io/rel-noopener/

05:39 - Why doesn’t the browser just fix it?

Safari did - You can use rel=“opener” to allow it
Firefox did
Chrome hasn’t yet
https://twitter.com/HugoGiraudel/status/801475801397030912

10:48 - Does this hurt SEO?

It breaks analytics of the recipient site, turning a referral visit from your site into direct traffic, unless the link has UTM or similar tracking parameters. If you have a site where passing traffic offsite is part of the business model, links need an affiliate id instead.

Basecamp CTO David Heinemeier Hansson and Rep. David Cicilline on Apple's monopolistic app store fees

Apple is acting like a monopolist and a bully, according to the chairman of the House Antitrust Committee. Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) joined The Vergecast along with Basecamp CTO David Heinemeier Hansson to discuss the plight of Hey, Basecamp’s new $99-a-year premium email service. Earlier this week, Heinemeier Hansson revealed that Apple had rejected the Hey iPhone app from the App Store because it didn’t offer any way to sign up and pay in the app itself — which would require giving Apple a 30 percent cut of the fee.
