Anchor target should be ignored on activation when the download attribute is set: - https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-a-element:downloading-hyperlinks-2 When the download attribute is set, we should use the "download the hyperlink" algorithm [1] instead of the "follow the hyperlink" [2] algorithm. Note that the "download the hyperlink" triggers a download and ignores the target attribute entirely. This is important as an anchor element with target=_blank and the download attribute set may fail because of Safari's popup blocker if we do not disregard the anchor target.
