So I visited this site, because of a facebook link. I was kind of thrown off by the clickbait at the top since I have AdBlock and Ghostery plus another Addon dedicated to stopping clickbait. So I wanted to investigate how this apparent circumvents all of it. Here is the the screengrab.

Then I saw that the href of the anchor tag is pointing to "about:blank". What is going on here? I suspect something extremely fishy going on, but why would someone link to a blank page and what does the property "v-href" do in this context? (Wappalyzer didn't detect an Vue). Help appreciated :)

Edit: I forgot to mention that I am especially suspicious because of the target="_blank" property, which is a known vulnerability in today's browsers.
