Make the update more carefully and test it, and don’t just post it publicly, I’m deleting your plugin, I don’t need the search bot to constantly index links to other sites or not

The plugin works well in conjunction with Extra Elegantthemes and the DIVI builder. Unfortunately despite checked „Noreferrer“ option the tag does not appear in the page code.

Nice. Does all you need for SEO, getting rid of the default „no referrer“ attribute. I also like the fact that you do not have to rely on an external resource like Font Awesome for the icon : less bloat, faster site. == EDIT== Taking off 2 stars for now because, as mentioned by another user, it shows the external link icon with anchor links. Too bad. Please correct this.

Very satisfied, works very well. Minus 1 star for the fact that page-internal links (#-Links, for example to jump to other post sections) are also marked as „external“. Otherwise fiull 5 stars, no problems after a few days of use.
