I think it is more than a redirection function, but I am not sure? So they do want the button to redirect them to another site (weather channel) in a new tab, which I did not have an issue doing. The issue for me comes with the second part. They also wanted the former current tab to be changed to google.
So “site 1” > click special exit now button > redirected to “site 2 -weather channel” new tab > old tab, no longer “site 1” now “site 3 -google” I hope I explained it right.
