In HTML, the anchor tag is used to open new windows and tabs in a very straightforward manner. However, there is a need to do the same using JavaScript. In JavaScript, window.open() proves to be helpful. The window.open() method is used to open a new browser window or a new tab depending on the browser setting and the parameter values.
