What do you want to talk about?

I like it when external links open in a new tab/window (window, you monster). Do others like that? Am I alone in this cold, dead universe?

Relevant Resources / Research

According to my research, people stay on your site longer when your site doesn't send them away.

But also I'm not a frontend developer and so maybe this isn't the norm anymore (or ever was who knows).
