When you put the Javascript in the href, the page also navigates to whatever the Javascript returns. In this case window.open returns a copy of the window object, which can't be navigated to.

You can solve this by moving the Javascript to onclick and having a href="#", or you can add a ;return false after the window.open, or put void() around the window.open,

I think you can just use onlick event for this. You can modify your code like this

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.open('https://www.remax.fi/fi/kiinteistonvalitys/tietosuojaseloste/', 'newwindow', 'fullscreen=1');return false;">"tietosuojaselosteeseen"</a>

Here, on href it will execute like javascript:void(0); and we call the window.open on click event. Also return false if there are other events triggers with it.
