Hi,

running Chome’s lighthouse “Best practices” audit there are “critical” warnings that to the “Social” links in the footer because these are security risks. I know this is more theoretical but I am not sure what role the score plays in SEO and it does not harm to get this fixed.

This happens on our Virtue powered site, but since it is also visible on the demo page I’ll use this for reference here.

This would be simply fixed by adding rel='noopener' to these links in the theme’s code. Would be nice if this could be done in a future version of the theme.
