I’ve made a userscript that puts a rel="noopener" on target=“_blank” links where missing, with no issues for about half a year usage. While noreferer breaks some payment processors and the like. Sadly, i lost it a few months ago, need to redo it sometime.
For quick reference, here is the first section from the MSDN docs:
The noopener keyword for the rel attribute of the <a>, <area>, and <form> elements instructs the browser to navigate to the target resource without granting the new browsing context access to the document that opened it — by not setting the Window.opener property on the opened window (it returns null).
Can you share some reference? I don’t understand how some linked site could affect the site containing it.
Stackoverflow, but here you go.

I’ve looked into Firefox’ bugtracker and there it’s “solved” by not doing it because nobody else does it.
they changed their mind in ff 72: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/07/firefox-79/
