Popups were chosen initially, inspired by
[rails-social-share-button](https://github.com/Bunlong/rails-social-share-button),
which is now deprecated. I didn't thought too much about alternatives at the
time.
To be honest, I’m not a fan of popups either. Refactoring to open links in new
tabs would probably simplify the code and make maintenance easier.
For the other alternatives, using Bootstrap modals with iframes likely won’t
work due to CSP restrictions on most websites. While the [Web Share
API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Share_API#browser_compatibility)
is promising, it’s not yet widely supported.
Opening links in new tabs seems like the cleanest and most maintainable
solution in my opinion. I would be eager to do a refactor if there is agreement
on the approach.
