my-component.js:24 Uncaught TypeError: window.open is not a function

I have created a simple web component using vanilla js just onclick to open URL on a new window unfortunately I get the following error

my-component.js:24 Uncaught TypeError: window.open is not a function

Here is my web component:

export class MyComponent extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    super();
  }

  connectedCallback() {
    this._render();
    this._attachEventHandlers();
  }

  _render() {
    const container = document.createElement("div");
    container.innerHTML = `
            <div class='app'>
                <button id="open-me">Open</button>
          </div>`;

    const shadowRoot = this.attachShadow({ mode: "open" });
    shadowRoot.appendChild(container);
    }

    _attachEventHandlers() {
        this.shadowRoot.getElementById('open-me').addEventListener('click', () => {
            window.open('www.google.com', "_blank");
        })
    }
}

window.customElements.define("my-component", MyComponent);

usage of this component, just import in your HTML and add it like this

 <my-component></my-component>

What is wrong here?

I would shorten it to:

customElements.define("my-component", class extends HTMLElement {
  constructor() {
    let button = document.createElement("button");
    button.innerText = "open";
    button.onclick = (evt) => {
      alert("You clicked! " + evt.target.nodeName);
      open('www.google.com', "_blank");
    };
    super().attachShadow({mode:"open"})
           .append(button);
  }
});

<my-component></my-component>

No need for a Named class definition, when you use it only once
no need for export, the Web Component is created in the Global registry
No need for the div soup, unless they actually have a purpose.
addEventListener only required when you want muliple events on the same element
window. for customElements, alert and open not required;
we're in the Browser, the default is window
super sets AND returns the 'this' scope; so can be chained
attachShadow sets AND returns this.shadowRoot; so can be chained
Learn the power of append over appendChild

Your open issue can not be related to Web Components; check that statement raw, in the console.

Here in StackOverflow it says:

OP was responsible for overriding window.open himself.
