    …wsers

Added `rel="noreferrer"` to automatically generated links in the main pad window as well as the chat window.

`rel="noreferrer"` is part of the HTML5 standard. While browser support isn't 100%, it's better than nothing. Future alternative solutions with wider browser support, such as intermediary redirect pages, are unaffected by this
change.
