HTML Tip: Automatically open all links in new tab in HTML

Did you get tired of manually adding target="_blank" in all the tags in your HTML webpage?
or
Have you ever forgotten to add target="_blank" in all the tags in your HTML webpage?

Well, there is a native HTML tag to handle such cases automatically. You don't need to manually add target="_blank" in all the tag.

Just add target="_blank" in the base tag, it will open in a new tab for all the link present in the webpage.

Nice one! Can we override the '_blank' in anchor tags with this in place?

I think he means, if you set _blank as default, can you still override for a specific link.
