Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records WP Open Comment Links in New Window version 1.2 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
WordPress comments are very important for a blog and really makes it possible to interact with users. Comments are why users take more interest in a blog.
But one of the problems with the comments is that all the links (URLs) in the comments open in the same window. This diverts the user’s mind away from the actual post and increases the bounce rate.
This plugin opens all the links added in the comments and author URL, in a new tab or window which helps to decrease the bounce rate and increase user engagement on your blog.
