| Pros | No settings to configure; Adds an icon, tooltip and screen reader text to new-window links; Works with some plugins that load content by AJAX | Visitor toolbar widget; Alt text checks in the media library; Each fix can be turned on or off |
| Cons | Only labels links; does not change how they open; Relies on the front-end script running on each page; Small plugin with a small user base | Does not make a site meet accessibility guidelines, per the author; Many fixes depend on the theme's markup; Needs review against the target WCAG level |
