Why is CB putting rel="noopener noreferrer" in the link of the web addresses?
As far as I know noreferrer is bad for our sites! noopener sounds bad as well.
No, it's not bad. Those are ignored by search engines. To the contrary, it's good for your site.
We added it because that's the W3C standard way to handle external links, improve performance, and the best workaround for annoying bugs of some old browsers. And additionally to this, there are no valid downsides to do it right.
noopener is a security implementation and is non-negotiable. It has zero negative impact on your site though so that's fine. noreferrer for older browsers is a workaround for not supporting noopener, but user supplied affiliate links lose all ability to track. I've added a feature ticket to implement a parameter to toggle noreferrer on or off as needed (default on). Again, noopener is non-negotiable and will remain always on for user supplied target="_blank" URLs.
