Problem with window.open()

[Harryk89]

I have a game in Pixi.js v8 and a button with a handler that opens a site in a new tab. But mobile browsers see this as a popup and block the site from opening. How to get around this?

            window.open("https://github.com/pixijs/open-games", "_blank");

            const link = document.createElement('a');

            link.href = 'https://github.com/pixijs/open-games';

            link.target = '_blank';

            link.rel = 'noopener noreferrer';

            link.style.display = 'none';

            document.body.appendChild(link);

           

            link.click();

        });
