Bookmarklet to replace the current url with some chars and open in another tab

Question

I'm building a bookmarklet and I need to replace some chars in the current URL and open it in another tab when they activate the bookmarklet.

Here is the code

javascript:setTimeout(function(){window.location.href = window.location.href.replace('foo', 'bar')}, 200)

However, I can only refresh the page in the current tab. how to open the new link in a new tab?

Answer 1

I am not familiar with Bookmarklets, but try this:

javascript:setTimeout(function(){
    const href = window.location.href.replace('foo', 'bar')
    window.open(href)
}, 200)

Let me know if it worked.
