Do not use target="_blank" for social media links

target="_blank" is bad for the accessibility and for the security, you also forgot to add noreferrer to the rel attribute.

What is the preferred solution? Remove the target attribute or set the rel attribute to mitigate tab nabbing attacks?

I have no idea to be honest. Most of my work is backend/devops and I rarely touch HTML besides some basics. Feel free to implement whatever you consider better.
