DescriptionEspecially for beginners it is difficult to go back to the I2P Router Console. For many people, the combination of host and port number is a book with seven seals. You shouldn't get your hopes up there. This also applies to the operation of the web browser with the mouse. For this reason alone, links to external pages should be opened in new tabs (target="_blank"). These include in particular the starting points for new users "Hidden Services of Interest"[1] and "Services on I2P"[2], which partially meet this requirement.
As a long term goal, the console should remain permanently open as a center and should only be closed on explicit user request, and not by opening links. For the BitTorrent client I2PSnark, this method was introduced some time ago. The user guidance should be consistent.
