# `target="_blank"`-toggler

This extension was developped during the redaction of this [blog post](https://augustin-riedinger.fr/en/resources/thoughts-on-target-blank/). Go read it to get full-context.

You can download it in official registries:

- **[Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/targetblank-toggler/emjjmkkcdllendgbldliiphlbpnomnjk)**

- **[Firefox extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/target-_blank-toggler/)**

## Usage

![How it works](/schema.png)

It does basically two things:

1. Changes the cursor to this one ![External link cursor](/images/cursor-ext.png) when hovering a `target="_blank"` link

2. Toggles the `target="_blank"` attributes on links while pressing `Ctrl`/`Cmd` + `Shift`

## TODO

Contributions welcome! Here's what would be nice:

- being able to customize the cursors
