Issue summary
The "Shopify" logo link opens a new window without warning the user. This could confuse screen reader users or cognitive impaired users who, when discover and interact with the link, believe they are following a link in the same browser window. This also causes extra work for sighted, keyboard-only users to switch back to the previous tab or window.
