URL not getting opened in new tab about blankshield HOT 4 OPEN

@budley We're pushing a fix to add the noopener rel to links instead of using blankshield for browsers that support the noopener property.

I've got the same problem since Chrome 72.
Maybe because of that : https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5989473649164288

Same here - the library seems to be included in a WordPress security plugin called iThemes Security and so is breaking lots of sites via that (well, Chrome's change is - not the author's fault). If it can't be fixed could you let us know please then I can maybe let iThemes know so they can pull that feature (that many people might not be aware is causing their sites problems!). Thanks.

The window open steps, given a string url, a string target, and a string features, are as follows:

1. If the event loop's termination nesting level is nonzero, return null.

I assume this is happening because the iframe is removed immediately after it's added, which Chrome now considers a pop-up during unload:

Edit: Even if L190 is removed, the pop-up blocker is still triggered.
