Automatically open external links in a new window when your web app runs in a chromeless runtime.

Especially useful for Firefox OS and iOS web apps! Created for Firefox OS apps, works on the whole modern web.

• Event delegation: Fast load and works on dynamic content
• Doesn't use window.open, just changes the target for clicked links
• Keeps existing target references intact
• Vanilla JavaScript (i.e. no dependencies), the best cross-browser framework!

• Can't catch links to pages on the same host that don't have navigation back to your web app
• If you use multiple hostnames (e.g. login.mywebsite.com and www.mywebsite.com) within your app then those links will be broken.

Either or:

• Copy code into your web app project,
• Embed deferred via github,
• … or just get inspired and make your own.
