Description

Are the parameters (url, name, params) in the described window.open() method intentionally different compared to the names of the parameters which MDN uses to describe window.open() (url, target, windowFeatures)?

Maybe one could update the used parameter names in javascript.info .
This would be a good first issue by the way.

What do you think?
Adjust to MDN or leave it at that?
