Principle 3 Understandable · Guideline 3.2: Predictable
3.2.5 Change on Request
Changes of context happen only on explicit request.
What this means in practice
Automatic redirects, self-opening windows and links that open a new window without warning all fall here. If a new window opens, say so in the link text.

Wave Access ergänzt bei Links, die ein neues Fenster öffnen, einen Hinweis für Screenreader – und rel="noopener" für die Sicherheit.
Normative wording
The binding text lives at the W3C. What you read here is our own faithful rendering – not a quotation.
