FYI:
Google Chrome has started to roll out this week their latest security practice, which is blocking links on websites to external locations which launch new tab/windows, tagging them as ‘blocked’ and considering them pop-up/redirects.

This will apparently apply to links which use target=_blank without the rel=noopener element. If you’re using older versions of both TagDiv themes, you may suddenly notice this for the social links in top black bar when trying to click to your social sites.

E.g.,
<a href="foo" target="_blank">Twitter.com/foo</a>
would need to be
<a href="foo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Twitter.com/foo</a>
