Answer 1

_blank: Load the URL into a new browsing context. This is usually a tab, but users can configure browsers to use new windows instead.

Answer 2

Back in the days when we are stuck with IE there's no tab browsing and it make sense to use _blank to prevent overwriting the same page.

You can think of the tabs are just a collection of Windows that makes our life easier without cluttering the taskbar. 😉

Answer 3

Well, a tab is a window

Answer 4

no it's not
new tab opens in the same browser window
but new window opens a whole new window which doesn't have same tabs as the previous window

Answer 5

I see. Report to the mods.

Answer 6

This is based on the users browser. Using target blank will open into a new window. If you have your browser configured to open links in a new tab rather than a window then thats no different to opening a new browser window entirely.

The answer that solo learn provides is correct and not a trick question.

If you wanted to open a target blank link in an entirely new window and override the clients browse settings then you can try and open it as a pop window etc.
