      @RIKKO14 fun… try this

      we need to edit a js file

      cd ~/MagicMirror/js
      nano electron.js
      

      scroll down to

      	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
      

      add a bank line after

      on the blank line, copy/paste these lines

      	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
            event.preventDefault();
            // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
            shell.openExternal(url);
        });
      

      so it looks like this when you are done

      	let address = (config.address === void 0) | (config.address === "") ? (config.address = "localhost") : config.address;
      	mainWindow.webContents.on("new-window", function(event, url) {
            event.preventDefault();
            // This will open a new Electron window to load the url.
            shell.openExternal(url);
        });
      	mainWindow.loadURL(`${prefix}${address}:${config.port}`);
      

      ctrl-o to save the file
      ctrl-x to exit nano
      cd …

      then

      pm2 restart MagicMirror
