For the love of all that is holy, can you all please start using `` for navigation and `` for actions, not the other way around?

@maybeanerd I joked a while ago that with the way people treat link versus button, it feels like subject that requires a PhD.

@jscholes Thank you. Much appreciated!

> One of my top annoyances with websites is when I want to open a link in a new tab and find out that I can't.
This! Exactly this! Even large websites break this pattern regularly. Makes me mad everytime!

@mahryekuh My pet peeve is JavaScript anchor tag links:
<a href="#" onclick="window.location.href = 'https://example.com'">Example</a>
Completely insufferable.

what about <a class="btn"> ?

@mahryekuh which one? link?

@simon_m If it is a link that acts like a link but has to look like a button, itβs probably fine.

@mahryekuh I just clicked a "link" (or what I thought was a link) with Crtl + click and wondered why it wasn't opening in a new tab. I inspected it and saw it was a tr with an event.
This post directly came to my mind again. So I had to re-boost it. -
@thewhite969 That is super frustrating!
The weirdest thing is that it is literally easier to make an anchor with an href than to create another element and write JavaScript to fake a link.
