The article presents a developer's opinion on why websites should not force external links to open in new browser tabs. It argues this practice steals control from users, assumes they are not tech-savvy, and reveals a lack of confidence in the website's own content. The author believes compelling content, not forced navigation, is what keeps users engaged.
