Hi! Both are nearly obsolete security precautions when opening links in a new tab. The noreferrer was added for browsers that did not support noopener, and now the noopener is assumed with target="_blank" in modern browsers.

Of course, if you open the page/resource in the same tab, WordPress would not add those attribute values.
