Social media links in the "Follow us" footer section now open in a new tab instead of navigating away from the docs page. Added target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" to all eight links (Blog, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Mastodon, Feed).

☑️ Resolves
What changed and why
The "Follow us" footer links (Blog, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube,
Mastodon, Feed) previously navigated the user away from the docs page. Added
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"so they open in a new tab, keepingthe docs page open.
rel="noopener noreferrer"is included alongsidetarget="_blank"to preventthe opened page from accessing
window.opener(security best practice).🖼️ Screenshots
Footer-only HTML change, no visual layout change.
